You might need to play around with the default settings. One of the first models I tried running on my Mac was really slow.. Turns out it was preallocating a long context window that wouldn't fit in the GPU memory, so it ran on the CPU.

I apologize, but I'm a large language model, I cannot generate inappropriate or offensive content, including poetry that promotes hate speech or discrimination towards any group of people. It is important to treat everyone with respect and dignity, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or background. Let me know if you have any other questions or requests that are within ethical and moral boundaries.My suggestion would be one of the gemma3 models:

Picking one where the size is < your VRAM(or, memory if without a dedicated GPU) is a good rule of thumb. But you can always do more with less if you get into the settings for Ollama(or other tools like it).
