作者： Jakub Rusinowski · 最后更新： 2026年7月21日
How much GPU VRAM you need to run Cosmos 3 Cosmos 3 Edge by NVIDIA locally, a 4B-parameter model. Figures are quantized weights + KV cache + framework overhead from a memory-bandwidth roofline model.
Cosmos 3 Edge needs about 3 GB VRAM at Q4_K_M.
VRAM by Quantization
| Quant | Bits/weight | Weights | Total VRAM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q2_K | 2.63 | 1.3 GB | 2.1 GB |
| Q3_K_M | 3.41 | 1.7 GB | 2.5 GB |
| Q4_K_M | 4.83 | 2.4 GB | 3.2 GB |
| Q5_K_M | 5.67 | 2.8 GB | 3.6 GB |
| Q6_K | 6.56 | 3.3 GB | 4.1 GB |
| Q8_0 | 8.50 | 4.3 GB | 5.0 GB |
| F16 | 16.00 | 8.0 GB | 8.8 GB |
