Estimated VRAM requirement
Weight memory uses parameter count × bits per weight, plus a quantization overhead factor. KV cache uses standard GQA formulas. Values are calculated estimates, not measured allocations.
| Quantization | Estimated weights | 2K total | 4K total | 8K total | 16K total | 32K total | 64K total | 128K total |
