LM Studio's model search is pretty good at showing what models will fit in your VRAM.

For my 16gb of VRAM, those models do not include anything that's good at coding, even when I provide the API documents via PDF upload (another thing that LM Studio makes easy).

So, not really, but LM Studio at least makes it easier to find that out.

ok, ty for the reply!

If you go to huggingface.co, you can tell it what specs you have and when you go to a model, it'll show you what variations of that model are likely to run well.

So if you go to this[0] random model, on the right there is a list of quantifications based on bits, and those you can run will be shown in green.
