How much memory do I need to run llm-jp-3.1-8x13b-instruct4 (Q4_K_M)?

The file size is 45.4 GB (measured). With a 4,096-token context, the estimated memory including the KV cache is 49.5 GB. The formula is published at https://localllm.az-arte.com/en/guide/memory-calculation.

What is the command to run llm-jp-3.1-8x13b-instruct4 with Ollama?

Run "ollama run hf.co/mmnga/llm-jp-3.1-8x13b-instruct4-gguf:Q4_K_M" to use the GGUF on Hugging Face directly. To use another quantization, replace the name at the end.

About llm-jp-3.1-8x13b-instruct4

llm-jp-3.1-8x13b-instruct4 is a GGUF model based on llm-jp/llm-jp-3.1-8x13b-instruct4 on Hugging Face. GGUF files are published by mmnga/llm-jp-3.1-8x13b-instruct4-gguf. It has about 73.2B parameters, the llama architecture, a maximum context length of 4,096 tokens (values written in the GGUF).

There are 17 quantizations, with file sizes from 20.4 GB (IQ2_XXS) to 45.4 GB (Q4_K_M) (actual sizes on Hugging Face).

The original model is licensed under Apache License 2.0, which allows commercial use (keep the license text and copyright notice when redistributing). Check the original license for the terms of use.

File sizes are the actual values on Hugging Face. Memory is estimated for each context length (KV cache f16). The formula is in How memory is calculated.

All memory figures are Estimated (KV cache f16). It should run on a setup with at least this much VRAM (or Mac unified memory). Click a value to see the devices and models that fit that amount (Find by GPU / Mac).

About the "quality guide" (how far a quantization drifts from the original)

For each quantization type, how far the output drifts from the original model, grouped into six levels from values llama.cpp measured on Llama-3-8B.

The value is mean KLD (the difference between the original and quantized model in next-token probabilities); smaller means closer to the original. Quantizations made with an imatrix (importance data) come out slightly smaller. Levels use the value without an imatrix (or with one, for types that only have that).

These values were not measured on this model. Larger models and MoE models tend to drift less with the same type. Distributor-specific mixed types (such as UD-Q4_K_XL) cannot be matched by type name alone, so they show "-".
