Nemotron 70B Instruct on the Apple M4 Pro: VRAM by quantization

VRAM needed assumes a 4K-token context with an f16 KV cache; “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 24 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 Nemotron 70B variant requires more VRAM than the Apple M4 Pro provides (24 GB).
