CanIRun.ai
CanIRun.ai matches open AI models to a GPU or Apple Silicon device using estimated memory fit, speed, and model quality.
About this product
CanIRun.ai is more useful than a generic “best local model” list because the answer changes with your machine. A model that looks attractive on a 24 GB GPU may not fit an 8 GB card, and Apple Silicon uses shared memory rather than a separate VRAM pool. The site lets you compare candidates against the hardware you actually have.
Read the memory and quantization details, then leave headroom for the operating system and other apps. Treat the speed and quality ranks as estimates; the decisive test is a local run on your own prompts. The site also publishes its scoring method, which makes its recommendations easier to challenge.
Best for: narrowing local model downloads and hardware purchases. See CanIRun.ai and its linked methodology.
