This feels useless. At least for homelabbers, ollama's model page tells us more useful info. And if a newbie goes there they'll be misguided.
Also, there's a lot of people who use CPUs, they don't list anything about them at all. Like I cannot fit Gemma 4 on my GPU, but ollama offloads it to CPU, and even with small GPUs you can get good performance.
And for nearly all small models, it recommends RTX 5060. Which is a very stupid choice.
What do you mean by „small gpu“?
I have not yet tried that, do you have any guidance? Or does „small gpu“ still mean >500€ GPU?
By small, I mean GPUs like outdated ones, laptop GPUs, or like GPUs with only 4GB or 6GB of VRAM.
