Model library → Cogito v1 → Cogito v1 32B
Flagship consumer Cogito variant. Scores 52.7% on AIME 2025 — higher than DeepSeek-R1 32B. Runs on a single RTX 3090 or 4090 (24 GB) at ~18 tokens/second. The best open reasoning model available on a single consumer GPU.
Cogito v1 32B needs about 20 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M — quantized weights plus framework overhead, before any KV cache. On Apple Silicon that figure comes out of unified memory.

Modelled on a reference NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24 GB), at 8K context. Speed figures are ESTIMATES from the memory-bandwidth roofline described on the methodology page, not benchmarks we ran — rows marked measured come from published or reader-submitted runs. VRAM here includes the KV cache, so it reads higher than the headline figure above, which does not.
| Quant | Weights | VRAM needed | Est. speed | Fit on 24 GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q2_K | 10.5 GB | 13.5 GB | ~57 tok/s (est.) | Fits comfortably |
| Q3_K_M | 13.6 GB | 16.6 GB | ~46 tok/s (est.) | Fits comfortably |
| Q4_K_M | 19.3 GB | 22.3 GB | ~34 tok/s (est.) | Tight fit |
| Q5_K_M | 22.7 GB | 25.6 GB | ~4 tok/s (est.) | Offloads to system RAM (slow) |
| Q6_K | 26.2 GB | 29.2 GB | ~4 tok/s (est.) | Offloads to system RAM (slow) |
| Q8_0 | 34.0 GB | 36.9 GB | ~3 tok/s (est.) | Offloads to system RAM (slow) |
| F16 | 64.0 GB | 66.9 GB | — | Won't fit |
