Decider 4B — VRAM & /v1/systemone setup

Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated

Mapika's 4B decision model on Qwen3.5-4B-Base, served by decider.serve with a TypeSafe-compatible /v1/systemone.

Decider 4B needs about 4 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.

Hardware fit

Weights plus overhead plus the KV cache at a 8,192-token prompt, on NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24 GB). A publisher build is sized from its file; the other rows are modelled at a standard quant. Decision requests are short, so no long-context figure is shown.

Decider 4B — frequently asked questions

What is Decider 4B?

Decider 4B is a decision model: you send it a state and typed questions (choice, yes/no/unknown, or a score) and it returns one answer per question with a probability for every option. It is not a chat model.

How do I run Decider 4B locally?

Decider 4B does not run in Ollama. Served by decider.serve. This model does not run in Ollama. See the setup guide for servers other than Ollama.

How much memory does Decider 4B need?

About 4 GB for the weights plus overhead at Q4_K_M, before the prompt's KV cache. Decision prompts are short, so the cache stays small.

How accurate is Decider 4B?

It has two separate published scores on two different suites — the author's own benchmark and the community Decision Index 0.2.1. They are not comparable with each other, and neither is a calibration guarantee.
