Three questions worth answering before you buy a graphics card.

Deciding whether to run a language model yourself comes down to three numbers: whether it fits, whether it is fast enough, and whether it is cheaper. Each of these tools answers one of them from measured figures rather than vendor arithmetic. All three run entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and there is nothing to sign in to.


Pick a Question

Memory calculator
Will it fit?

Paste a HuggingFace model and see what it actually needs — weights, KV cache and runtime overhead — against the machines people actually own. Reads the real file sizes rather than estimating from a table.

Speed simulator
How fast is fast?

Every inference vendor quotes tokens per second and almost nobody knows what the number feels like. Move a slider and watch text arrive at exactly that rate, with reference marks measured on our own hardware.

  • measured, not simulated

Cost simulator
What does it cost?

A break-even calculator for self-hosting, built on throughput and wall power measured on our own machine against published hosted list prices. It returns whichever side is actually cheaper at your volume.

  • metered power, list prices

Built Because We Needed Them

This company runs its own models on its own hardware, and each of these tools started as a question we had to answer for ourselves before committing to a machine or a model. Publishing them costs nothing and saves someone else the same afternoon.
