genmodelfit
English · 日本語
genmodelfit tells you which image, video, music, sound-effect, speech (TTS) and 3D generation models run well on your PC.
It is inspired by llmfit, which does this for LLMs. Status: alpha (CHANGELOG.md).
uvx genmodelfit search flux and uvx genmodelfit recommend with genmodelfit 0.12.0 (model list as of 2026-10-21). The list is updated weekly, so the models and counts change.
In the animation the GPU is a simulated Ada-generation one with 8 GiB VRAM (bf16 and fp8 usable), not the PC that recorded it.
--vram changes only the amount of VRAM, and the GPU generation stays that of the PC it runs on.
From the RTX 30 series on (30, 40, 50), the generation does not change the estimate, so this is also how to check a GPU before
you buy it (add --ram for its system RAM).
Quick start
Try it without installing. If you have uv, one command is enough. uv runs genmodelfit in its own temporary environment (and fetches Python if needed); nothing is added to your Python or PATH.
uvx genmodelfit recommend # the best models for this PC, per type
uvx genmodelfit system # what was detected on this PC
Every command in this README works this way: write uvx genmodelfit instead of genmodelfit.
uvx genmodelfit@latest … makes uv check for a newer version first.
Install it to use the genmodelfit command directly (details):
pipx install genmodelfit # or: uv tool install genmodelfit / pip install genmodelfit
genmodelfit recommend # the best models for this PC, per type
python -m genmodelfit recommend # the same, if "genmodelfit" is not found
Help by measuring (optional, no git needed). One command measures your GPU for a few minutes and sends the results as a GitHub pull request, which helps check and improve the estimates for everyone with the same GPU (how):
genmodelfit share # measure installed models (~5 min), show what will be sent, open a pull request
1. Prerequisites
What it does
- Judges whether each model in its list runs on this PC, and how comfortably (from VRAM, RAM, GPU generation).
- Recommends the best models per type: image, video, music, sfx (sound effects), tts (speech), 3d.
- Downloads the files of a model, after showing licenses and asking you.
- It does not generate anything. To run a model, use ComfyUI (or the runtime the model names). genmodelfit holds model information only, never weights.
- Why not llmfit: it covers LLMs only (llmfit#41); here memory changes several times over with precision, resolution, frames and offloading.
Requirements
- Windows, Linux or macOS, Python 3.10 or newer (with
uvx, uv provides Python if you have none). - GPU: NVIDIA (CUDA); the estimates are calibrated on NVIDIA runs. Without a usable NVIDIA GPU, AMD (ROCm: RDNA 2 or
newer, Windows 11 / Linux), Intel (XPU: Arc A / B, Core Ultra Arc Graphics, Windows 11 / Linux) and Apple silicon
(MPS, macOS 14 or newer) are judged with the vendors' support tables (same level rules as NVIDIA; the PC line shows "✓ verified GPU kind"
only for kinds of GPU with records of running on two or more GPU models, today NVIDIA with dedicated VRAM). Integrated GPUs and APUs (e.g. Radeon 780M / 680M, Steam Deck, Ryzen Z1) use shared memory. Other GPUs
(Intel UHD / Iris Xe, the 2-CU Radeon 610M / 820M, RDNA 1 and older) and PCs without a GPU are judged as CPU-only;
SD-family image models and Stable Audio count as running on CPU (slow). On Linux,
systemsuggestsupdate-pciidswhen lspci does not know the GPU's name (docs/hardware.md). Non-NVIDIA GPUs have no measurements yet, so they get no ✓.genmodelfit measureworks on these GPUs too; sending the result withgenmodelfit shareverifies them and tightens the estimates (Help by measuring).
Install
Not needed to try it: uvx genmodelfit … runs it without installing (Quick start).
To keep the genmodelfit command:
pipx install genmodelfit # once: pipx ensurepath, then open a new terminal
uv tool install genmodelfit # once: uv tool update-shell, then open a new terminal
pip install genmodelfit
pipx and uv put genmodelfit on PATH. python -m genmodelfit … always works, whatever PATH says
(on Windows also py -m genmodelfit …).
If pip printed "WARNING: The script genmodelfit.exe is installed in '…\Scripts' which is not on PATH" (common with python.org Python without "Add python.exe to PATH", Microsoft Store Python, user installs, or a venv not activated), add that folder to PATH or use one of the above. A terminal opened before PATH changed does not see it: open a new one.
What is sent over the network
Nothing, for judging: the hardware is read locally. Only update, download, measure and bench connect, and only to
public data or the ComfyUI you name (when you give no folder or URL, download and measure also ask a ComfyUI running on
this PC, at 127.0.0.1). share only checks a GitHub token you already have before measuring and sends nothing
until you agree (then it signs in and opens a pull request with the files it showed you, or opens the issue form). No telemetry. Details: Privacy.
2. Procedure
-
Check your PC. Shows the GPU, VRAM, RAM, page file, free disk, and whether the model list is still fresh.
genmodelfit system -
Get recommendations. The top models of each type that run here, best first. Narrow down with a type (
-m) or a use inside a type (--task;genmodelfit typeslists them).genmodelfit recommend genmodelfit recommend -m image --task edit -
See everything that runs. One table of all models that run here (Perfect / Good / Marginal).
--alladds tools, models that do not run and unjudged ones;--sort scoreranks across types;--fit goodkeeps one level.genmodelfit fit genmodelfit fit --sort score --fit good -
Look at one model. Files, licenses, memory in each mode, limits, and why it is or is not Verified.
genmodelfit info "Z-Image-Turbo" -
Download it.
--listshows the files, licenses, sizes and free disk without downloading. Then download into your ComfyUI folders; you are asked before anything starts, and every file is sha256-checked. Without--comfyui-dirit looks for your ComfyUI and shows where it found it (if it finds none or several, it asks).genmodelfit download "Z-Image-Turbo" --list genmodelfit download "Z-Image-Turbo" --comfyui-dir C:\ComfyUI # your ComfyUI folder -
Keep the list fresh. The list is rebuilt weekly. A model whose link check is older than 30 days stops being Verified. This fetches the latest signed list from this project.
genmodelfit update --from-release -
Measure and send (optional).
sharemeasures the models worth measuring that are installed (about 5 minutes, starting ComfyUI if needed), shows exactly what will be sent, and sends it as a GitHub pull request after you agree (Help by measuring).measuremeasures one model you choose.genmodelfit share
For apps (Python / JSON)
The commands take --json (docs/schema.md).
The same in Python:
import genmodelfit as gmf
for f in gmf.recommend(modality="image", task="edit", limit=5):
row = f.to_dict() # the same dict as one item of `recommend --json`
# memory_required_gb: what the chosen mode needs (the table's VRAM; RAM on CPU).
# f.estimate.vram_gb is the all-on-GPU need, which can be larger than the GPU (GPU~ / GPU+RAM rows).
print(f.model.id, f.model.precision, f.score, f.auto, f.estimate.fit, row["memory_required_gb"])
st = gmf.data_status() # is the list fresh enough for Verified (auto) models?
if st.expired:
print("run: genmodelfit update --from-release", st.expires_at)
# reading the list yourself: skip entries still waiting for review.
# on a malformed or wrongly typed list, load_db raises a RuntimeError (catch RuntimeError; the subclass
# genmodelfit.db.DatabaseError is not in gmf.__all__).
ok = [e for e in gmf.load_db().models if e.reviewed]
# one model, with the GPU your app detected (generation and precision are decided here)
fit = gmf.judge_model("image_sdxl_simple", gpu_name="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060", vram_gb=12, driver="560.94")
print(fit.to_dict()["fit_level"]) # only names in gmf.__all__ are stable API
# AMD / Intel GPUs go through the same support tables as detection; refusals say why (other_gpus[].reason)
pc = gmf.system_from(
[{"name": "AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT", "vendor": "amd", "vram_gb": 16}],
windows=True,
windows_build=22631,
cpu="AMD Ryzen 7 7700X",
)
gmf.gpu_family("Intel(R) Arc(TM) B580 Graphics", "intel") # {"backend": "xpu", ...} from the name table
db = gmf.load_db(use_cache=False, user_measurements=False) # bundled list + bundled measurements only
# fetch the signed list with your own session, e.g. the app's CA bundle (network: only this and gmf.download)
db = gmf.update_from_release(session=my_session, dest=data_dir / "db.json", state_dir=data_dir)
Only names in gmf.__all__ are stable API (docs/schema.md).
Judge another PC
--vram and --ram (GiB) replace the detected sizes, e.g. genmodelfit recommend --vram 12 --ram 32.
With a usable NVIDIA GPU, its generation is kept and only the VRAM changes. On a non-NVIDIA GPU (or without a usable
GPU), --vram judges a hypothetical NVIDIA GPU of unknown generation. Other users' measurements, and measurements
that set the level, apply only when --vram and the measured card's VRAM have a ratio (smaller ÷ larger) of 0.95 or more. --width, --height, --frames, --length and --precision judge a specific
setting.
Language
Output is in English by default. For Japanese, add --lang ja to any command (e.g. genmodelfit recommend --lang ja),
set the environment variable GENMODELFIT_LANG=ja, save it with genmodelfit config set lang ja (command line only),
or call gmf.set_language("ja") from Python (the flag wins, then the variable, then the saved setting for the command
line or set_language for Python; the OS language is not used). Only the texts change (reasons, notes, errors, table
headings and footers, --help); JSON keys, ids, codes and judgments are the same in both languages. English output
contains no Japanese, and Japanese output contains no English-only sentences (one language per line).
Kept in English in both languages: the table column names (Type, Status, Score, Model, Use, Prec, VRAM,
Mem%, Mode, Disk, License, Censored), the fit level names (Perfect, Good, Marginal, Too tight),
the run-mode marks (GPU, GPU~, GPU+RAM, CPU), units, and machine-readable values such as ids, license ids and
option names. This keeps the table widths stable and matches what you type for --fit, --sort and so on; the
Japanese output explains them in Japanese below the table. Type headings show the Japanese type name followed by
the name for -m (e.g. (image)).
Long lines are wrapped counting East Asian wide characters as two columns. File names, URLs, options and numbers with units are never split (a single one longer than the width stays whole on its own line), and the basic Japanese line-breaking rules apply (no line starts with a closing mark or comma, or ends with an opening bracket).
3. Results
Example
genmodelfit recommend on a PC with 8 GiB VRAM and 32 GiB RAM, top 2 per type (COLUMNS=100).

Order: runs, Perfect/Good (GPU+RAM, CPU last), Marginal (faster first), official, popularity, Score.
Score 0-100 = memory headroom (Mem% <= 70% is 100; not speed). VRAM: GiB needed, m = measured.
Mode: GPU all on GPU, GPU~ parts swapped in turn, GPU+RAM offload (slow), CPU (slow), - no run.
Level caps: GPU~ and GPU+RAM at most Good; CPU at most Marginal (CPU-ready TTS, tools: Good).
Mem%: share of the tightest memory (VRAM; RAM for CPU, or if larger for GPU+RAM), RAM = RAM short.
Perfect = fits with room to spare, not a speed guarantee (also on low-bandwidth GPUs).
GPU+RAM: the level is often set by RAM; the offloaded share is assumed (40% of weights on GPU).
One row per model: Prec = best precision that fits, Use = workflow uses (info, --all-workflows).
Estimates without m are rough. Details: genmodelfit info <name or id>. Apps: --json (schema.md).
--json lists auto-recommendable models first (schema.md).
Note: 26 uncensored model(s) hidden; add --uncensored to show them.
Note: 28 model(s) with an unknown license hidden; add --any-license to show them.
? = unknown (precision, license, size: not judged), - = not applicable (e.g. no run).
The first lines show the PC and how many models were hidden and why. The last lines explain the marks.

Columns
| column | meaning |
|---|---|
| Type | image, video, music, sfx, tts, 3d |
| Status | fit level (below) |
| Score | 0–100: memory headroom. 100 while the tightest memory of the mode is at most 70% used (Mem%), lower above that; not speed, quality or popularity (rules) |
| Censored | Y censored / N uncensored; only with --uncensored (or `--content all |
| Model | one row per model (same weights); long names are cut in the middle with … |
| Use | gen, edit, i2v, … (genmodelfit types); the row's own use (the one matching --task) first, then the other uses of the model's workflows, without repeats (gen,edit; gen,… when they do not fit). The workflows: info; one row each: --all-workflows |
| Prec | the best precision that fits (fp16, bf16, fp8, int8, …) |
| VRAM | GiB needed in that mode; m = measured (by the maintainer, on this PC, or the median of other users' measurements of the same GPU; number of sources: info, JSON sample_count) |
| Mem% | share of the tightest memory used: VRAM on the GPU, RAM on CPU, the larger of the two for GPU+RAM; RAM = system RAM is short |
| Mode | GPU all on GPU, GPU~ parts swapped in turn, GPU+RAM offload (slow), CPU (slow), - does not run (GPU req: needs a GPU, none usable here; RAM: not enough system RAM) |
| Disk | download size (GiB); dropped first when the width is short (then see info or --json) |
| License | license of the files (other = read it yourself) |
Fit levels
The level comes from how much of the memory the mode uses (VRAM on the GPU, RAM on CPU), as in llmfit:
| level | use of memory | cap by mode |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect | ≤ 60% | only when all on the GPU (GPU); room to spare, not a speed guarantee |
| Good | ≤ 85% | highest level for GPU~ and GPU+RAM (offloading is chosen only when it raises the level), and on the CPU for speech whose authors state real-time CPU use (MeloTTS, Piper, VieNeu-TTS) and one-pass tools |
| Marginal | ≤ 98% | highest level for generation on the CPU or slightly short RAM (Mem% can be low) |
| Too tight | > 98% | does not run (a level set by measurements can be Good even above 98%) |
| ? | — | not judged: the download size is unknown |
There is no cap by GPU vendor; the PC line shows "✓ verified GPU kind" when that kind of GPU has records of
running on two or more GPU models (rules).
Marks: m after VRAM = measured (whoever measured it); without a mark it is a formula estimate. Measurements win over the formula. Without --width etc. every model is judged at
the same default settings for its type, so measurements taken at other settings only shift the estimate (no mark).
Other users' measurements apply only to the same GPU (same PCI model ID, else the same normalized name, and a VRAM
ratio of 0.95 or more) and can move the needs either way. Measurements set the level only when two or more independent sources agree on
the same GPU with the same settings, and then the table's VRAM is the amount used for the level (at least weights +
fixed part; bench values (torch_reserved) get +0.5 GiB). Rules: docs/scoring.md.
? = unknown (precision, license, size; not judged on it). - = not applicable (does not run, no VRAM on CPU, …).
recommend orders rows by: runs, Perfect/Good (without offloading first), Marginal (faster mode first), official templates, popularity (the
rank of the usage count among models of the same type and source), Score. fit orders by type, level, official,
popularity, Score. (recommend --json and gmf.recommend() put Verified models first after "runs":
docs/schema.md.)
Accuracy
As of 0.12.0, the estimates are calibrated on a few runs on one NVIDIA GPU and cross-checked against two runs on
another. The bundled measurements from shared submissions (measurements_community.json) hold 4 submissions
from 1 source (the maintainer; RTX 3070, SDXL at four settings), none consistent yet. Treat values without m as
rough.
ComfyUI uses more VRAM when more is free, so a peak measured on a large GPU is not the minimum.
Current counts and error figures: docs/accuracy.md.

Data sources
The list is built from the ComfyUI workflow templates (MIT) and the Hugging Face Hub API (licenses traced to the upstream, sizes, sha256), plus a few hand-added models. Like llmfit, Hugging Face models need 10,000+ all-time downloads (1,000+ for models that are clearly trending). Civitai is not used (its terms limit automated access). Details: docs/sources.md.
Content marks
Models with safety filtering removed or made for adult output are marked uncensored and hidden by default.
--uncensored (or --content all|uncensored) shows them, with the Censored column. They are never Verified by default.
Models aimed at sexual content involving minors are excluded entirely
(docs/sources.md).
Verified (auto-recommendation)
Verified: yes (JSON auto) only when all checks pass: every file's license is on a commercial-use allowlist,
nothing is gated, an official ComfyUI workflow without custom nodes, a supported ComfyUI version, every URL answered
an anonymous HEAD within 30 days, sha256 and size are known, content is sfw, and no review is pending.
Otherwise the reasons are in held_reasons. The recommend / fit tables do not show it; info <name or id>
shows each check and gate counts them. Details: docs/gate.md.
Download
Only https URLs in the list, redirects only to Hugging Face / GitHub hosts, sha256-checked while writing, resumable
after Ctrl-C, never outside the destination. Gated files are never downloaded. Uncensored models and files with an
unknown license are downloaded only with your consent: in a terminal the consent question names them (y/N, default
No); with --yes, --json or in scripts pass --uncensored / --any-license (the plan then shows one ready command
with them added and what each means; it never adds them by itself). Parts the template does not use by default (only on muted or bypassed nodes) are not downloaded unless you pass
--with-optional; parts behind a switch that is off are downloaded, because ComfyUI checks them before running.
Files whose ComfyUI folder is unknown go to other/, which
ComfyUI does not read (the plan says so; move them before use). The place is --comfyui-dir (or --output-dir),
then GENMODELFIT_COMFYUI_DIR, then genmodelfit config set comfyui-dir <folder>, then a ComfyUI found on this PC
(the current folder, a running ComfyUI, ComfyUI Desktop / comfy-cli settings, usual places); the plan always says
which. When none or several are found, a terminal lets you choose, and scripts stop with an error instead of
downloading into a folder ComfyUI does not read. The question is [y/N/c] (c changes the place). Details and Python API: docs/download.md.
Maintenance
The list is rebuilt every week. New models, models whose files changed (URL, size, sha256) and riskier changes are
marked pending and are not Verified until a person approves them with primary-source evidence (genmodelfit review). Only reviewed data is signed and published
for update --from-release. Details: docs/release.md.
What changed in the list
genmodelfit diff compares the bundled list with the one fetched by update --from-release (run that first; without
it, diff only prints how to). diff NEW.json compares the bundled list with a file, diff OLD.json NEW.json two
files. It shows models as name (type) — id: added and removed models, auto-recommendation changes, and for each
changed model its license (! = toward the permissive side), size, precision, prompt / speech languages, added /
removed files with their license, newly uncensored, review status, and the names of any other changed fields
("other changes:"), in three sections (files / license / uncensored / runtime, then auto-recommendation with ids,
then license provenance, languages, size and the rest), most important first; the same minor change on many models is one
line with a count. Changes of popularity numbers, dates and HEAD results, old HEAD failures and the sources numbers
are only counted; --all lists them (the content of the weekly pull request). --json: docs/schema.md.
Help by measuring
Measured runs on more GPUs make the estimates better. One command, no git needed (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel or Apple GPU; a GitHub account):
genmodelfit share
- It finds your ComfyUI like
measure: one running on this PC (or--url), else the installed one it finds (portable, manual / comfy-cli with a.venv, or ComfyUI Desktop), which it starts in the background and stops afterwards (--no-startturns that off). - It picks the suggestions of
measurewhose files are installed and that have no result on your GPU yet (also none saved on this PC) until their rough times add up to about 5 minutes (--budget), shows the plan, the measurements you have not sent yet and the total time (starting ComfyUI, measuring, and downloading as an example at 100 Mbps), and asks once. Models that need nodes your ComfyUI does not have are left out (update ComfyUI to measure them) and the next suggestions fill their place. - It measures them one by one. If none is installed, or time is left, it asks once whether to download the others
(
[y/N], with the size and time;--downloadskips the question; downloading has the same questions asdownload). - It shows every file to send (the whole content and the privacy checks) and asks how to send it:
1) pull request (sign in to GitHub:
GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN, else the saved sign-in, else GitHub's device login in your browser; enter the code it shows; scopepublic_repo;share --logoutremoves it), 2) issues (no sign-in: the measurement form opens in your browser, one per file, and you press "Create"; a bot makes the pull request), or q) not now. A pull request comes from a fork on your account, with the files underdata/contrib/<GPU>/on a branch (or added to your open one). A check runs within minutes; once a maintainer merges it, the next version uses it. - Results are saved before sending and never measured again. If you choose q or the pull request fails (a terminal
then offers issues),
share --no-measure(orshare --issue) sends them later. Before measuring, only a token you already have is checked; with--yesand no terminal it needs one (GITHUB_TOKEN), or useshare --issue --yes.
share --dry-run only shows the plan and what would be sent; share --no-measure sends only the measurements you
have not sent. share --issue without --yes is the older way: choose an unsent measurement and open its form.
genmodelfit measure measures one model you choose. It lists models that fit your GPU and have no measurement on it yet (installed ones first, then
the shorter time, then the smaller download). Choose one; it shows what it will do (model, settings, which ComfyUI,
whether the files are installed, a rough time, that nothing is sent) and measures on the ComfyUI running on this PC
(or --url). A model that is not installed is downloaded first with the same questions as download.
Once a model has a measurement on your GPU at the template's settings, the list also has runs at other settings
that help check the estimate's formula: image resolution (512 / 768 / 1024 / 1536 px), video frames (17 / 33 /
49 / 81 at the template's size) and music / sound length (10 / 30 / 60 / 120 s), only when they fit your GPU at
that setting and have no measurement at it on this GPU, at most 2 per model and about 5 minutes or less
(shown with --resolution, --frames or --length; genmodelfit measure <id> --resolution 1536x1536 picks
one yourself). Each run is one generation of a few minutes; share sends what it saved.
What is sent (all of it is shown before you send): the GPU name, VRAM, generation and compute capability (NVIDIA),
driver version, vendor and backend, for AMD / Intel GPUs the PCI model ID (a model number such as 1002:744c, the
same on every card of that model), the OS family, RAM rounded to GiB, the ComfyUI and genmodelfit versions, the date
(no time), the model, settings, result, peak VRAM / RAM, time, how the model was loaded (offload), how it was
measured, a fingerprint of the model files, and bench's note about how it measured. What is not: host or user names,
paths, GPU UUID, PCI slot, serial numbers, IP, CPU name, exact time, prompts.
How it is used: a measurement is used for people with the same GPU. On NVIDIA with ComfyUI's dynamic VRAM (the default today) only the working memory can be measured, so it is used to cross-check the estimates and does not set levels yet (#100; accuracy.md). Other measurements adjust the estimate for that GPU, and when two different people's measurements agree they also set the level. One GitHub account counts once, however many measurements it sends. Out-of-memory results are kept as "not enough on this GPU" records, which stop measurements from setting the level for that setup. A measurement takes effect after a maintainer accepts it and the next version of genmodelfit is released.
If you edit the issue after the bot made its pull request, the new content is checked again: the pull request is
updated (or closed, if the new content does not pass) and both pages say so. For git users, bench --submission data/contrib/ in a clone of your fork still works. Steps: CONTRIBUTING.md.
Privacy
- Judging commands and the Python API (except
update_from_releaseanddownload, which you call on purpose) make no network access (tested with every socket blocked). updatereads public data only (GitHub, Hugging Face API, HEAD on model URLs);--from-releaseonly fetchesdb.jsonand its signature.downloadonly fetches model files, and, when no folder is given, asks a ComfyUI running on this PC (127.0.0.1 ports 8188 and 8000) where its folders are.measureasks the same ports whether ComfyUI runs (without--url) and talks only to that ComfyUI (plus the official template on GitHub and, when you agree, the model files); a ComfyUI it starts listens on 127.0.0.1 only.benchtalks only to your--url.- genmodelfit never sends hardware details, measurements or prompts on its own. A measurement is shared only when
you agree in
share(it shows every file first): then it talks to github.com and api.github.com only, to sign in and to open a pull request with those files from your account (Help by measuring). The sign-in token is saved in the config folder, readable only by you, and never printed.share --issue(andbench --share,contrib share) only open the GitHub form in your browser (or print its URL, or copy the content to your clipboard); the content is sent when you press "Create" there. No~/.netrccredentials, no telemetry. - What
sharesends (0.13.0, #132): each measurement (GPU name, VRAM, generation, driver, backend, RAM rounded to GiB, OS family, ComfyUI and genmodelfit versions, model, settings, peak VRAM / RAM, time) with the estimate genmodelfit made for it (without your measurements or any of this model on your GPU), a time breakdown (queue, load, sampling, decode), a mark when the peak VRAM went over the GPU total into shared memory, and the list version; plus one file of failure records per run (missing node names, timeouts, error type names, never the error text). Never sent: generated images or sounds, your inputs, host or user names, GPU UUID, PCI location, paths, IP addresses. Details: docs/schema.md ("contrib"). - Per-command table: docs/schema.md ("Side effects").
