Can you explain the concept behind each of the main size ranges of LLM models, as in, what hardware setups the different size niches are meant to fit into (~30b, ~70b, ~120b, ~230b, etc). Like is it mainly based on pro hardware sizing for 8-bit, or consumer GPU vram for ~Q4, or some mixture?
I am curious about intended sizings of the main size niches of the popular local LLM models. As in, we can see there is a major niche at 26b-35b, then hardly anything from 36 through 69b, then (formerly) another major niche at ~70b-72b, then another niche at ~120b-123b, then another big gap till ~230b-235b, and then it
