Among models that fit
Highest LMArena Elo among models that fit: Gemma 4 31B 1443.4. Elo is a human-preference scale, not the intelligence index.
The arena boards are separate scales and are never blended. A missing cell is unmeasured, not zero. A model’s highest axis is relative to its own scores, not a claim it leads the catalogue.

How the number is made
Weights: a measured GGUF size when we have one, otherwise total parameters × bits per weight ÷ 8. Q4_K_M is treated as 4.83 bits/param. MoE memory uses total parameters, not active parameters.
KV cache, when layer and head geometry is sourced: 2 × kvLayers × kvHeads × headDim × context × 2 bytes (FP16, batch 1). Hybrid models use attention-layer count, not every layer. If geometry is missing, cache is omitted and that is stated.
1 GiB is added for CUDA/runtime. Apple unified memory uses RAM as the pool. CPU-only is a memory fit, not a speed claim. DDR generation is ignored for fit — it changes bandwidth, not whether the weights sit in memory.
RAM type (DDR4/DDR5/LPDDR) is not a field. It does not change whether a model fits.
Questions this page answers
What LLM can I run on a MI300X?
14 of 25 profiled open-weight models fit 192 GiB (vram) at F16, 8192 context. Best rated that fits: Gemma 4 31B.
How much memory does a MI300X have?
192 GiB vendor-published framebuffer (https://www.amd.com/en/products/accelerators/instinct/mi300.html), not free-after-driver.
Does NVIDIA pick the winner?
No. Ranking is arithmetic on sourced parameter counts. Quality leads. Unrated models that fit are listed separately, never scored zero.
