caniarun 🚀

Not sure if your rig can handle that shiny new AI model? That's exactly what this tool is for!

caniarun checks out your hardware (GPU, CPU, and RAM) and tells you straight up which open-source AI models will actually run on your machine. Instead of throwing confusing metrics at you, it gives you a fun, easy-to-understand vibe check for over 80 models across different compression levels.

You'll get ratings like:

  • 🧈 Smooth as butter
  • 🔥 Dope run
  • 😐 Meh usable
  • 🐌 Laggy vibes
  • 🗑️ Trash mode

Note: This project is a fork from the original canirun.ai, simplified into a script that anyone can easily run directly from their terminal.

Installation

Getting started is super easy. Just drop this in your terminal:

pip install caniarun

(Optional) If you're rocking an NVIDIA GPU and want more precise detection, use this instead:

pip install caniarun[nvidia]

How to Use

Just type this in and hit enter. We'll handle the rest!
