Quick survey (2 min) on trust in hardware specs for open-source models

Hi everyone, I'm a systems analysis student researching a problem a lot of you probably know well: how much you actually trust the published VRAM/RAM requirements for open-source models before trying to run them locally. This is for an academic project (not selling anything, no emails collected). The survey is anonymous and takes 2 minutes: https://forms.gle/nmY6cBSz6Cirq2S19 If you've got 2 minutes and any self-hosting/local LLM experience, your answer would help a lot. Thanks! submitted by /u/El_Cientificoo [link] [comments]
