Key Features
  • • VRAM estimates by model, quantization, and context length
  • • GPU-based recommendations for models and quantization levels
  • • Maximum-context estimates that account for KV-cache choices
  • • MCP server for AI coding tools
  • • Structured JSON decision records
  • • Semantic decision search

llmfit - Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓Answers a narrow hardware-sizing question quickly
  • ✓Shows context and quantization tradeoffs before a large download
  • ✓No account is required for the public calculators

Cons

  • ✗An estimate cannot replace a benchmark on the exact runtime and hardware
  • ✗The site did not expose clear commercial or licensing terms during research
  • ✗Recommendations do not measure answer quality for a specific workload

Decision Node - Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓Semantic search finds relevant decisions even with different terminology
  • ✓Works across all major AI coding tools via MCP
  • ✓Local storage keeps sensitive decisions on-premises
  • ✓Visual UI helps teams explore decision relationships
  • ✓Structured format prevents decisions from becoming unstructured brain dumps

Cons

  • ✗Requires a Gemini API key for vector embeddings (adds dependency and cost)
  • ✗Only useful if the team consistently records decisions — needs adoption discipline
  • ✗Local-only storage means no built-in team sync or cloud collaboration
  • ✗Vector embeddings are Gemini-specific — no choice of embedding provider
  • ✗No integration with existing decision documentation tools (ADR tools, Notion, etc.)
