About Local Model Watch

Local Model Watch is a reference site, in English and Japanese, for open-weight generative models (text, image, video and audio) you can run on your own hardware: articles on new releases, hub pages, and measurements we take by running models on our own server. Memory requirements in every article are computed by this site from the actual distributed file sizes.
