Your best local LLM for low-VRAM (6GB)?

Hey guys,

What’s currently the best LLM for low-VRAM machines with only 6 GB VRAM? I’ve got 32GB RAM as well.

I’m experimenting a little with SillyTavern and I’m curious which model gets the most out of my setup. Should be multilingual and suitable for “casual chatting”.

I know I will probably not get very far with this, but I’m still interested in how far we’ve already come.

(Using KoboldCPP if that matters).

Late to the party, but this was just released: LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B-GGUF

I guess you could fully fit it at Q4 with a little context if you need all the speed you can get, or offload the experts to RAM if you prefer higher quality and/or more context.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they’re still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
