VRAM needed assumes a 4K-token context with an f16 KV cache; “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 16 GB of unified memory. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.

Why It Does Not Fit

Every Devstral variant requires more VRAM than the Apple M1 provides (16 GB).
