InternLM4B~4 GB VRAM at Q4_K_M

Intern-Decision 4B — VRAM & /v1/systemone setup

Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated

InternLM's multimodal 4B decision model on Qwen3.5-4B: answers every question in a schema from one forward pass and accepts optional images.

Intern-Decision 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.

Call Intern-Decision 4B

Served by reference Python code. This model does not run in Ollama.

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.

Reads every question's answer slot from one causal forward pass (Transformers). Accepts optional images.

Intern-Decision 4B — frequently asked questions

What is Intern-Decision 4B?

Intern-Decision 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 Intern-Decision 4B locally?

Intern-Decision 4B does not run in Ollama. Served by reference Python code. This model does not run in Ollama. See the setup guide for servers other than Ollama.

How much memory does Intern-Decision 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 Intern-Decision 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.
