Too big for this Mac
Its smallest size needs 42 GB of memory, more than M4 · 16 GB can give it.
Ratings
3.0 out of 5, across people's blind votes on its answers.
LM Arena ratings of October 28, 2026 (CC BY 4.0): people vote between two answers without knowing which model wrote which. The bar ends at 1488, the best any open model has. The Arena tests the full model; a small size on a Mac answers a little worse.
Llama 3.1 Nemotron 70B runs well from a Mac with an M1 Pro and 32 GB of memory. 40 of 59 Mac configurations run it well.

From bartowski/Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Instruct-HF-GGUF on Hugging Face. A smaller size is a smaller download and a little less accurate.

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 Llama 3.1 Nemotron 70B'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.
