About

I kept Googling "can I run Llama 3 70B on a 16 GB Mac" and getting Reddit threads with conflicting answers and no math shown. So I built a calculator that does the actual memory math, cites its sources, and gives a straight yes or no.

The site covers Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. It recommends the right tool per platform because the wrong one cuts your throughput in half.

Data sources

Text model figures are validated against real GGUF files on the Ollama library and HuggingFace repos. Image, video, and audio figures are sourced from vendor specs and benchmarks. The formula is public. You can check it on the methodology page.

Builder

Built by Ansuman Shah, an indie dev in Bengaluru. Small, focused tools under the NoodleApps name. Find me on X or GitHub.

Data last validated 2026-06-15. Figures are estimates, not guarantees. Always verify before a large download.
