Tev1 0.8B — VRAM & /v1/systemone setup
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated
Together AI's experimental 0.8B decision model on Qwen3.5-0.8B: the smallest download in Ollama's decision line-up (812 MB).
Tev1 0.8B needs about 1 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 Tev1 0.8B
Pull it with Ollama 0.35 or newer, then POST to /v1/systemone. Do not use ollama chat commands — this is not a chat model.

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.

Other Tev1 (experimental) sizes
Tev1 0.8B — frequently asked questions
What is Tev1 0.8B?
Tev1 0.8B 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 Tev1 0.8B locally?
Install Ollama 0.35 or newer, run `ollama pull tev1:0.8b`, then POST your state and questions to http://localhost:11434/v1/systemone. It is called through the API, not a chat session.
How much memory does Tev1 0.8B need?
About 1 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 Tev1 0.8B?
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.
