Local Model Checker

Put in your computer specs and a target model size. The checker gives a practical estimate of what should run locally, what will feel slow, and where to start.

Can this computer run it?

Model family matters, but size, quantization, RAM, GPU memory, and storage usually matter more. Treat this as a practical first estimate, then verify against the model page.

How to find your specs

Windows

Settings > System > About for processor and RAM. Task Manager > Performance > GPU for graphics memory.

Mac

Apple menu > About This Mac. For more detail, open System Settings > General > About.

Linux

Use Settings > About, or try lscpu, free -h, lsblk, and lspci.

Phone / tablet

Settings > General/About. Mobile local AI is possible, but treat it as experimental and small-model only.

Should run

Fill in the form to generate a local model estimate.

With limits

Slow or conditional workloads will appear here.

Skip for now

Model sizes that need a stronger setup will appear here.

Recommended setup

Choose a preset or enter the specs you know.
Run the model check.
Use the output to pick a runner and first model size.

Next step

Use the starter pack when you are ready.

After the estimate, use the TLIP Local Starter Pack for runner links, model matrix notes, and first-run setup docs.

This checks local model fit only.

This page is for the basic question: what model sizes and runners can my computer probably handle?

For donated hardware, repairs, sensors, Raspberry Pi nodes, or Tinbot Exchange roles, use the TLIP Device Checker instead.
