RAM, GPU, and Storage for Agentic AI: How Much You Actually Need
StorageReview, Sunday, August 16th, 2026
StorageReview provides a lab-verified sizing guide covering VRAM, system RAM, storage and KV cache math for local AI.
StorageReview publishes a sizing guide for running AI locally, covering how much VRAM, system RAM and storage a deployment actually requires.
Model sizes and memory figures are verified against official model releases as of publication and the table is refreshed quarterly because model sizes churn.
The guide includes KV cache math, which is frequently the component teams underestimate when planning for agentic workloads. It covers the specific hardware StorageReview tested. It is aimed at practitioners specifying workstations or servers for local inference.
