How these models were selected

Candidates have downloadable weights and comparatively modest active parameter counts, making quantized deployment on a workstation or small local server plausible.

When to use a different shortlist

Hardware fit depends on quantization, context length, batch size, and runtime. A model listed here may still exceed a laptop GPU at its best-quality settings.
