Best Local LLMs You Can Run on a Single 24GB GPU in 2026: Qwen, Gemma, Mistral, DeepSeek Compared
A single 24GB GPU is the practical minimum for serious local inference, allowing for capable models to run on a single card. Three models fit this tier: Qwen3.6-27B, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, and Gemma 4 26B, each suitable for different tasks such as coding, chat, and multimodal input. These models balance quality and footprint, making them ideal for local AI workloads.
