Can your GPU run this LLM?

Calculate token/s & GPU memory requirement for any LLM. Supports llama.cpp/ggml/bnb/QLoRA quantization - RahulSChand/gpu_poor

Can your GPU run this LLM? launched on September 29, 2023 with 15 votes, #1,429 of 4,228 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

Can your GPU run this LLM is a tool that checks whether a graphics card has sufficient capabilities to run large language models locally. It helps users determine GPU compatibility before attempting to deploy LLMs, targeting anyone interested in running AI models on their own hardware. The tool provides practical compatibility information without requiring complex technical knowledge, making it useful for developers and enthusiasts exploring local LLM deployment options.

  • Llama 3.1 70B on a single RTX 3090 via NVMe-to-GPU bypassing the CPUFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲395

    Hi everyone, I'm kinda involved in some retrogaming and with some experiments I ran into the following question: "It would be possible to run transformer models bypassing the cpu/ram, connecting the gpu to the nvme?" This is the result of that question itself and some weekend vibecoding (it has the linked library repository in the readme as well), it seems to work, even on consumer gpus, it should work better on professional ones tho

  • 80% faster, 50% less memory, 0% loss of accuracy Llama finetuning2023 · github.com · ▲385

    Hi HN! I'm just sharing a project I've been working on during the LLM Efficiency Challenge - you can now finetune Llama with QLoRA 5x faster than Huggingface's original implementation on your own local GPU. Some highlights: 1. Manual autograd engine - hand derived backprop steps. 2. QLoRA / LoRA 80% faster, 50% less memory. 3. All kernels written in OpenAI's Triton language. 4. 0% loss in accuracy - no approximation methods - all exact. 5. No change of hardware necessary. Supports NVIDIA GPUs since 2018+. CUDA 7.5+. 6. Flash Attention support via Xformers. 7. Supports 4bit and 16bit…

    We made glhf.chat – run almost any open-source LLM, including 405B2024 · glhf.chat · ▲161

    Try it out! https://glhf.chat/ Hey HN! We’ve been working for the past few months on a website to let you easily run (almost) any open-source LLM on autoscaling GPU clusters. It’s free for now while we figure out how to price it, but we expect to be cheaper than most GPU offerings since we can run the models multi-tenant. Unlike Together AI, Fireworks, etc, we’ll run any model that the open-source vLLM project supports: we don’t have a hardcoded list. If you want a specific model or finetune, you don’t have to ask us for it: you can just paste the Hugging Face link in and…
