The #1 problem with local AI seems to be solved now.

There’s a free tool called canIrun.ai that checks your hardware and tells you which models will actually run well before you download anything.

So instead of guessing and hitting out-of-memory errors…it grades every model against your machine.

What it does (right in your browser, no install):
→ detects your setup (RAM / CPU / GPU / VRAM)
→ scores each model for fit, speed, and context length
→ grades every quantization level (Q4_K_M, Q6_K, Q8_0, etc.)
→ labels what runs great vs okay vs too heavy

It covers most of the open-weight stack, Llama, Qwen, Gemma, Mistral, DeepSeek, Phi and more, pulling requirements from llama.cpp, Ollama, and LM Studio.

And it’s fully opensource.
