Local AI models for 8GB VRAM.
Explore models by theoretical weight storage. This shortlist covers available downloadable language models with a known or name-derived parameter count.

8 GB budget − 2 GB reserve
The reserve is your assumption, not a measured overhead allowance. The default 2 GB may be too little for your runtime or context length. Results are not confirmed fits and have no verified speed rating. Weight estimates use decimal GB and do not include quantization overhead.

What changes with a 8GB budget?
With 2 GB set aside, 6 GB remains for weights. At 4-bit that allows up to 12 billion parameters in the theoretical calculation. An 8-billion-parameter model alone needs approximately 4 GB at this precision, before its conversation cache and runtime.
Why might a listed model still fail to load?
Its actual weight format may need more space, the runtime may not support its architecture, or the conversation cache may exceed your reserve. Vision models can also need space for image processing. Check the original model card and measure your exact setup before relying on it.
