A Reddit user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit inquired about the prevalence of GPUs with 24GB or more of VRAM among users running large language models locally. The user noted that despite Qwen 3.8 27B having a million downloads, they estimate that only a small fraction, possibly under a thousand, actively use such models on hardware with 24GB+ VRAM. This figure, they suggest, includes casual users and image generators, with the number of individuals achieving genuine productivity and development with local LLMs being even smaller. AI
