The workflow
Read the publisher’s model card
Check the linked model card for its current license, files, required software, and official examples. Follow its instructions for your operating system.
Check your hardware before downloading
Use the YouRunAI model page to screen memory needs. Treat estimates as a first pass; confirm the published requirements and available quantization files.
Try a small official example
Use an example from the official model card to investigate Text generation. Start with a small input and confirm output quality and memory use before expanding the task.
