Unlimited-OCR: hardware requirements
Unlimited-OCR needs about 2.7 GB of memory at Q4 quantization — a 2.0 GB download plus room for context and overhead. That fits a machine with 8GB RAM.

Download sizes by quantization
Lower quantization means a smaller file and less memory, at some cost to quality. Q4_K_M is the usual starting point. What is this?
| Quant | Download | RAM @ 4K | RAM @ 32K | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_Mrecommended | 2.0 GB | 2.7 GB | 4.5 GB | measured |
| Q5_K_M | 2.2 GB | 3.0 GB | 4.8 GB | measured |
| Q6_K | 2.6 GB | 3.4 GB | 5.2 GB | measured |
| Q8_0 | 3.1 GB | 3.9 GB | 5.7 GB | measured |
| BF16 | 5.9 GB | 6.7 GB | 8.5 GB | measured |
“Measured” sizes are read from published GGUF files (sahilchachra/Unlimited-OCR-GGUF). “Estimated” sizes are derived from the parameter count and are typically within a few percent. The RAM columns add the context cache and runtime overhead to the download size.
