CanIRun.ai

What CanIRun.ai is

CanIRun.ai is a hardware compatibility checker for local AI models. It reads GPU, VRAM, RAM and CPU core information available to the browser and filters models into fit levels ranging from comfortable to too heavy, with filters for task type, provider and licence.

What you can do with it

• See which models your machine should handle
• Filter by chat, code, reasoning or vision
• Compare providers
• Check licence terms such as Apache 2.0 or MIT

Who it is for

• Developers running models locally
• People choosing hardware for inference
• Teams comparing open models

What to watch out for

• Browser estimates are not benchmarks: quantisation, runtime, driver versions, background load and context length all change real speed
• Licence filtering is informative, not legal advice; read the actual licence before commercial use
• Hardware details reported by a browser can be incomplete, especially for shared or virtual GPUs
• Measure locally before committing to a deployment
