Overview

llmfit is a command line tool written in Rust that checks your hardware and recommends which open-source language models it can run comfortably. It inspects CPU cores, system RAM, GPUs, VRAM and accelerator setup, then suggests models across common quantizations. It also has a terminal interface where you can measure real speed and submit results back to the project.

Key features

  • Detects CPU, RAM, GPU, VRAM and unified memory
  • Recognizes NVIDIA CUDA, Apple Silicon, AMD ROCm and Intel OneAPI
  • Recommends models across popular quantizations
  • Benchmarks real tokens per second from the terminal interface
  • Your own measurements replace estimates in the fit table

Best for

Anyone choosing a local LLM who wants to know what fits their machine before downloading. Without a benchmark, the figures are estimates.
