Required first step

Find the safe Qwen range

CogentSpec checks this computer's processor, memory, graphics, free model storage and Ollama installation. Hardware details stay on this computer.

Choose after the audit

Install within the valid range

Contract floorqwen3:4bRun the audit to calculate this computer's ceiling

No installation choice is shown before the audit.

Run the automatic audit above. CogentSpec will return only the Qwen models that fit between the contract minimum and this computer's safe ceiling.

Working-memory figures are planning estimates, not guarantees. Context length, quantisation, other running applications and GPU offload all change real memory use and speed.

Manage in one place

Run the computer audit before managing abilities.
