A Reddit poster argues that KV cache memory requirements may constrain local LLM deployment more than raw parameter count, suggesting model selection and hardware planning should account for cache size rather than focusing solely on parameter totals.

Reframes the local-model sizing problem around VRAM cache rather than weights — a constraint readers often overlook when picking hardware or models.
