Can I Run Devstral Small 2505 24B on Intel Arc B570?
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated August 15, 2026
No. Devstral Small 2505 24B needs 16.6 GB at 8K context (14.5 GB weights + 2.1 GB KV cache/overhead) at Q4_K_M and the Intel Arc B570 has only 10 GB. No quantization we publish closes a gap that size.

Devstral Small 2505 24B on the Intel Arc B570: VRAM by quantization

Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 10 GB. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4_K_M on the Intel Arc B570: 8K 16.6 GB ✗ · 32K 20.7 GB ✗ · 128K 36.8 GB ✗. Past 8K it no longer fits 10 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
What to do next
Either step down to a smaller size in this family, or move to a AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (20 GB), the card with the least memory we track that holds it.
No compatible GPU? Devstral Small 2505 24B on 16 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs, but it is tight.
