Yi 1.5 Family — Frequently Asked Questions

How much VRAM does Yi 1.5 Family need?

Yi 1.5 Family needs about 8 GB VRAM at Q4_K_M quantization for its smallest variant. Variants: Yi 1.5 34B Chat (20 GB, Q4_K_M); Yi 1.5 9B Chat (8 GB, Q4_K_M). On Apple Silicon, unified memory counts toward this requirement.

Can I run Yi 1.5 Family on an RTX 4090 (24 GB)?

Yes — Yi 1.5 Family runs on an RTX 4090 (24 GB) and other 24 GB cards such as the RTX 3090. Smaller variants also fit comfortably on 8–16 GB GPUs at Q4_K_M.

What quantization should I use for Yi 1.5 Family?

Q4_K_M is the best balance of quality and VRAM for Yi 1.5 Family in most cases. Choose Q8_0 for near-lossless quality if you have spare VRAM, or smaller quants (Q3/Q2) only when memory is tight.

How do I run Yi 1.5 Family with Ollama?

Install Ollama, then run: ollama run yi:34b. This downloads Yi 1.5 Family and starts a local, OpenAI-compatible endpoint — no internet connection is needed after the initial download.
