How much accelerator memory does a local model need?
Weights are only the beginning: KV cache, context, batching, engine overhead and headroom decide fit.

Technical notes with a review date.
No daily AI commentary. Each note must identify its author, sources, evidence class, reviewed date, next review and the boundary beyond which a new test is required.
What belongs in a benchmark contract?
Freeze workload, runtime, concurrency, quality, refusal, leakage, power and negative-result handling before the run.
Open the benchmark method →Swiss-hosted is not the same as client-controlled.
Residency, tenancy, administrators, support paths, keys and exit are separate decisions.
Read the evidence note →Backup is not tested recovery.
A backup becomes evidence only after a bounded restore, index rebuild and ownership record.
Inspect recovery and exit →What does Kimi K3 availability change?
Weights unblock sovereign evaluation, while workload, licence, hardware, safety and operations remain to be proved.
Read the evidence note →When is AI heat recovery useful?
Only load profile, usable temperature, seasonal demand, hydraulics and failure design can answer.
Read the evidence note →These are structured entry points to current reviewed material. Future standalone notes should be published only when they add original evidence or a durable decision aid.
