UNVERIFIED — retained only because this URL has been live and holds inbound links. Mistral shipped Devstral 2 in two sizes, Devstral 2 123B and Devstral Small 2 24B; no 22B Devstral 2 checkpoint appears under mistralai on Hugging Face or in the Devstral 2 announcement. The figures below were published here without sources. If you came looking for the consumer-GPU Devstral, you want Devstral Small 2 24B below — 68.0% on SWE-bench Verified at about 15 GB.

Devstral-2 22B (Unverified Listing) needs about 14 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.

VRAM and Speed by Quantization

Modelled on a reference NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24 GB), with no KV cache (this record has no published architecture). 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.

Devstral-2 22B (Unverified Listing) — Frequently Asked Questions

How much VRAM does Devstral-2 22B (Unverified Listing) need?
About 14 GB at Q4_K_M — quantized weights plus framework overhead, before any KV cache. The cache grows with context length and is added on top; the table above folds it in. Apple Silicon counts unified memory toward the same figure.
Does Devstral-2 22B (Unverified Listing) run on an RTX 4090 (24 GB)?
Yes. Devstral-2 22B (Unverified Listing) needs about 14 GB at Q4_K_M, inside a 24 GB card, at an estimated 48 tokens/sec.
How do I run Devstral-2 22B (Unverified Listing) locally?
Install Ollama and run `ollama run devstral-2`. That pulls the weights and starts a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint; after the download nothing leaves the machine.
What other sizes does Devstral come in?
Devstral-2 123B (75 GB), Devstral-2 22B (Unverified Listing) (14 GB), Devstral Small 2505 24B (15 GB), Devstral Small 2 24B (15 GB). Every size shares the family's training and licence; the larger ones score higher and need proportionally more memory.
