Heat is a composite of measured signals only: each component is the model's percentile among models with a full week of history — trending level (35%), 7-day download growth (30%), 7-day trending change (15%), 30-day downloads (15%) and Hub likes (5%). Missing components renormalize the weights and lower the shown confidence; nothing is guessed. Trending and downloads come from the Hugging Face Hub — the download counter is a rolling 30-day window, not unique users — and input pricing from OpenRouter (CC BY 4.0). The full formula, thresholds and flag rules are on the methodology page.
What it needs
◇ Estimated— Estimated: computed from our curated model and hardware catalog — not a live reading.Weights, context cache and runtime overhead at four reference contexts. The total is the model's own; what differs per machine is the usable memory it has to fit into.
| Context | Weights | Context cache | Overhead | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8K | 17.1 | 2.0 | 1.4 | 20.5 GB |
| 32K | 17.1 | 5.8 | 2.1 | 25.0 GB |
| 64K | 17.1 | 10.8 | 3.1 | 31.0 GB |
| 128K | 17.1 | 20.8 | 5.1 | 43.0 GB |
All memory figures are estimates: measured quantized file size + computed context memory + runtime overhead, with a 12% safety margin on your hardware. Real usage varies with runtime version and settings.
Where it runs
◇ Estimated— Estimated: computed from our curated model and hardware catalog — not a live reading.Every tracked GPU and Mac at 8K and 32K context with a full-precision (f16) cache — the same engine as the finder and the GPU pages.
Runs comfortably (EXCELLENT or GOOD) on 5 of 14 tracked devices at 8K context.

GGUF is the quantized single-file format local runtimes load (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp); our memory figures are measured from the linked GGUF file. The original repo holds full-precision safetensors — a much larger download meant for GPUs with far more memory.
