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 24 GB. 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 (QAT) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090: 8K 4.7 GB · 32K 7.7 GB · 125K 19.4 GB. Every window this model publishes still fits 24 GB.

What to do next

Nothing to change — run it at Q4 (QAT). If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.
