GPU deployment scenarios

Estimated from parameter count and quantisation. Will switch to “Verified by Badgr” once a real run backs a tier.

Testing

RTX 4090 24GB

Short context, low concurrency

Small production

L40S 48GB

8K context, 1-4 concurrent requests

Higher throughput

A100 80GB

32K context, continuous batching

Large production

RTX 4090 24GB

Higher concurrency

Estimated — multimodal inputs, long context, and concurrency all increase real VRAM use beyond this estimate.

Also runs well on L40S 48GB, A100 40GB. Available in United States, Europe.
