Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated March 20, 2026

How much GPU VRAM you need to run Cogito v1 Cogito v1 14B by Deep Cogito locally, a 14B-parameter model. Figures are quantized weights + KV cache + framework overhead, computed from the model's parameter count and published architecture — not a throughput model. See /en/methodology.

Cogito v1 14B needs about 11 GB VRAM at Q4_K_M.
