Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated April 4, 2024

How much GPU VRAM you need to run Command R Family Command R+ (104B) by Cohere locally, a 104B-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.

Command R+ (104B) needs about 66 GB VRAM at Q4_K_M.
