Start with the model
Model selection determines resource needs. Size figures without quantisation and context provide only limited guidance.
Consider concurrency
Multiple parallel conversations increase memory and compute requirements. Registered user count is not enough for sizing.
Treat the system as a whole
Beyond GPU and RAM, you need storage, drivers, cooling, power, network and an operating concept.
Test with real workload
A trial with representative prompts and data is more meaningful than a generic benchmark list.
| Small | pilot, bounded model profile, few simultaneous requests |
|---|---|
| Medium | team use, aligned model and context sizes |
| Extended | several models, higher concurrency, integrations and operating headroom |
