Cogito v1 32B — VRAM, Speed & Local Setup

Autor: Jakub Rusinowski · Ostatnia aktualizacja: 20 marca 2026

Model libraryCogito v1 → Cogito v1 32B

Flagship consumer Cogito variant. Scores 52.7% on AIME 2025 — higher than DeepSeek-R1 32B. Runs on a single RTX 3090 or 4090 (24 GB) at ~18 tokens/second. The best open reasoning model available on a single consumer GPU.

Cogito v1 32B needs about 20 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M — quantized weights plus framework overhead, before any KV cache. On Apple Silicon that figure comes out of unified memory.

VRAM and Speed by Quantization

Modelled on a reference NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24 GB), at 8K context. Speed figures are ESTIMATES from the memory-bandwidth roofline described on the methodology page, not benchmarks we ran — rows marked measured come from published or reader-submitted runs. VRAM here includes the KV cache, so it reads higher than the headline figure above, which does not.

Cogito v1 32B — Frequently Asked Questions

How much VRAM does Cogito v1 32B need?
About 20 GB at Q4_K_M — quantized weights plus framework overhead, before any KV cache. The cache grows with context length and is added on top; the table above folds it in. Apple Silicon counts unified memory toward the same figure.
Does Cogito v1 32B run on an RTX 4090 (24 GB)?
Yes. Cogito v1 32B needs about 20 GB at Q4_K_M, inside a 24 GB card, at an estimated 34 tokens/sec.
How do I run Cogito v1 32B locally?
Install Ollama and run `ollama run cogito:32b`. That pulls the weights and starts a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint; after the download nothing leaves the machine.
What other sizes does Cogito v1 come in?
Cogito v1 3B (3 GB), Cogito v1 8B (6 GB), Cogito v1 14B (9 GB), Cogito v1 32B (20 GB), Cogito v1 70B (43 GB). Every size shares the family's training and licence; the larger ones score higher and need proportionally more memory.
