+ Key Strengths (Pros)

  • ✓ Precise KV cache formula accounting for transformer layers, KV heads, head dimensions, precision bytes, and concurrent sequences.
  • ✓ Extensive model presets including Llama 3.1 8B, Qwen2.5 7B, DeepSeek R1 Distill, Gemma 2, and custom architecture configurations.
  • ✓ Calculates both resident quantized weights (GGUF Q2_K through Q8_0) and dynamic context memory with maximum fitting context solver.
  • ✓ One-click clipboard export with transparent math formulas and permalink parameters for reproducible sharing.

− Limitations (Cons)

  • − Does not account for speculative decoding draft model memory allocations.
  • − PagedAttention / vLLM memory fragmentation overhead must be modeled manually via the runtime reserve slider.

🔬 Hands-on Lab Notes Audited in 2026-09

Configured Llama 3.1 8B with Q4_K_M weights and 128K context window (131,072 tokens). Evaluated FP16 KV cache scaling, computing 16.0 GiB KV cache, 4.49 GiB weights, 2.0 GiB reserve, yielding 22.5 GiB total VRAM on a 24 GiB GPU. Tested clipboard export capturing 398 characters of mathematical breakdown with 0ms freeze and 0.00 CLS.
