02How much VRAM it needs (estimate)
Total = weights + 10% + 0.5GB overhead + KV cache for one request (FP16 KV). More concurrent users multiply the KV column.
| Precision | Weights | Total @ 8K | Total @ 32K | Total @ 128K | Smallest GPU | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BF16 / FP16 (original) | 208 GB | 230 GB | 231 GB | 234 GB | 4 × RTX PRO 6000 (384GB) | Mac 512GB |
| FP8 / INT8 / Q8_0 | 111 GB | 122 GB | 123 GB | 127 GB | H200 141GB | Mac 256GB |
| 4-bit (Q4_K_M / AWQ / GPTQ-Int4) | 63.0 GB | 70.2 GB | 71.1 GB | 74.7 GB | H100 80GB | Mac 128GB |
KV cache per request: 8K 0.3 GB · 32K 1.2 GB · 128K 4.8 GB
Bits per weight: BF16 16, FP8 8.5, 4-bit 4.85. “Fits” = total ≤ 90% of memory; Mac GPU can use ~2/3 of unified memory (≤36GB) or ~3/4 (larger). For MoE, all experts must be in memory, so size by total parameters. Method →
