With 8 GB

One entry per model, up to 30, sorted by popularity. For each model we show the largest (most precise) quantization that fits in this memory with a context of at least 8K tokens. The context length is the longest one that quantization fits (for models whose maximum is under 8K, such as embedding models, that maximum). Models that are not for chat or text generation are labelled with their use. "Left" is the memory minus the estimate; under 5% of the memory is marked "tight" (not a guarantee that it fits).
