The largest size, of those that keep three bits a weight or more, whose memory at an 8K chat is under 92% of the card's; the rest is the desktop's. Estimated from the files, the same way as for a Mac; speed on a PC is not estimated yet. A size that doesn't fit the card still runs, slower, with part of it in ordinary memory.

Badge for the model card
Shows on EXAONE 4.5 33B's Hugging Face card which Macs run it well, linked to this page. It updates every morning.
Files, downloads and likes read from Hugging Face on November 5, 2026 and refreshed every morning. Memory and speed are estimates until someone running Outmake measures this model on that Mac.
