Assumes a 4K-token context with an f16 KV cache, on an estimated architecture — this model publishes no config we can read. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 192 GB of unified memory. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4 (experimental) on the Apple M2 Ultra: 8K 172.8 GB · 32K 174.6 GB · 128K 181.5 GB. Every window this model publishes still fits 192 GB.
