ATTRIBUTION & EVIDENCE BOUNDARIES
Sources and what they show
These references were supplied with the product brief. They provide context for model listings, API controls, and hardware specifications; none is treated here as a measurement of runtime memory.
Attribution prepared 17 October 2026. Source contents have not been independently rechecked for this stage.
- Ollama gpt-oss:20b listing
Listing and download information. A download size describes disk usage; it does not establish the model's runtime RAM requirement. - Ollama generate API documentation
Documentation for API inputs and controls. It is not a measured memory profile for a particular model and machine. - Apple Mac mini specifications
Hardware configuration information. Configurations do not guarantee that a chosen model and runtime will fit or perform as expected.
How to use these references
Bring a runtime-memory estimate from evidence relevant to your own model, runtime, settings and workload. This calculator adds that user-provided estimate to other assumptions; it does not convert source listing details into RAM numbers.
See the formula and limitations for how estimates are calculated and where they stop.
