Can I run alfred?
A robust conversational model designed to be used for both chat and instruct use cases.
Parameter counts and memory belong to each build below. A family can contain several sizes and tasks; fitting in memory is not a quality ranking.
Calculate memory for a build and contextalfred system requirements
Memory needed at 4K context, counting model weights, KV cache, compute buffers and runtime overhead. Download sizes come from the official Ollama registry.

Showing the 2 smallest non-alias builds. Choose any build and change the context. A context above the build's documented maximum is a hypothetical calculation, not a supported setting.
How to run alfred locally
- 1.Install Ollama for Windows, macOS or Linux.
- 2.Download this exact build in a terminal:
ollama pull alfred:40b - 3.Check the source for the build's task. For text generation, run
ollama run alfred:40b. Base/text builds may need a prompt template; an instruct build is usually the appropriate starting point for a conversation.
Frequently asked questions about alfred
- How much VRAM do I need to run alfred?
- At 4K context, the smallest published build of alfred (Q4_0) needs roughly 24.8 GB of GPU memory once weights, KV cache, compute buffers and runtime overhead are counted. Bigger quantizations and longer context windows need more. It can also run partly or entirely on the CPU using system RAM, more slowly.
- Can I run alfred without a dedicated GPU?
- A supported CPU runtime can use system RAM. The smallest listed build needs an estimated 24.8 GB at 4K context, plus headroom for your operating system. Check the build's runtime requirements. We have not measured its speed on your CPU.
- How big is the alfred download?
- The smallest published build is 22.2 GB. There are 2 builds in total, the largest being 41.4 GB. Leave some extra free disk space beyond the download itself.
- How do I run alfred locally?
- Install Ollama, then download a specific build with "ollama pull alfred:40b". For a build that supports text generation, use ollama run with the same tag. Check the model source for its task and prompt format.
