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.

  1. 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.
  2. Ollama generate API documentation
    Documentation for API inputs and controls. It is not a measured memory profile for a particular model and machine.
  3. 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.
