- Minimum VRAM
- ~5GB
- Context
- 8K tokens
Recommended: RTX 4090 24GB. VRAM is an estimate and increases with context, cache, concurrency, and runtime overhead.

GPU deployment scenarios
Estimated from parameter count and quantisation. This model's one verified real run was reported by the provider as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, which isn't one of the tiers below.
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.
