Cogito v1 70B — VRAM Requirements
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated March 20, 2026
How much GPU VRAM you need to run Cogito v1 Cogito v1 70B by Deep Cogito locally, a 70B-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 70B needs about 46 GB VRAM at Q4_K_M.
VRAM by Quantization
| Quant | Bits/weight | Weights | Total VRAM |

| Q2_K | 2.63 | 23.0 GB | 26.5 GB |
| Q3_K_M | 3.41 | 29.8 GB | 33.3 GB |
| Q4_K_M | 4.83 | 42.3 GB | 45.7 GB |
| Q5_K_M | 5.67 | 49.6 GB | 53.1 GB |
| Q6_K | 6.56 | 57.4 GB | 60.9 GB |
| Q8_0 | 8.50 | 74.4 GB | 77.9 GB |
| F16 | 16.00 | 140.0 GB | 143.5 GB |
