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_K_M on the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX: 8K 23.8 GB · 32K 29.4 GB ✗ · 128K 52 GB ✗. Past 32K it no longer fits 24 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.

What to do next

Nothing to change — run it at Q4_K_M. If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.
