Run LLMs On A Consumer GPU
A plain-language GGUF and quantization guide backed by live catalog rows; file size and format metadata are not runtime guarantees. Canonical URL: https://huggingbay.xyz/answers/run-llms-on-consumer-gpu.
On a consumer GPU, start with a live GGUF or quantized LLM row, compare its recorded file size with your usable VRAM, and test the exact runtime and context you plan to use. GGUF is a file format and Q4/Q5/Q8 are quantization labels—not promises of quality, speed, or fit—so use each canonical artifact page and hosted-file inventory as the citable record. Representative rows: legraphista/glm-4-9b-chat-IMat-GGUF, LiquidAI/LFM2.5-230M-GGUF, LiquidAI/LFM2.5-2.6B-GGUF, AnkitAI/Parable-Qwen3-8B-Claude-Fable-5-GGUF, mudler/locate-anything.cpp-gguf. Use each canonical citation URL plus metadata/card endpoints for current license, trust, hosting, and download state. Canonical URL: https://huggingbay.xyz/answers/run-llms-on-consumer-gpu.
