- How much VRAM does GigaChat3.1 Audio 10B A1.8B need?
GigaChat3.1 Audio 10B A1.8B requires 20.6 GB of VRAM at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 41.5 GB (62.2 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 10B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 20 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.6 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 42.2 GB (at full 262K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
BF1620.6 GBBF16 + full context62.2 GB- Can I run GigaChat3.1 Audio 10B A1.8B on a Mac?
GigaChat3.1 Audio 10B A1.8B requires at least 20.6 GB at BF16, which exceeds the unified memory of most consumer Macs. You would need a Mac Studio or Mac Pro with a high-memory configuration.
- Can I run GigaChat3.1 Audio 10B A1.8B locally?
Yes — GigaChat3.1 Audio 10B A1.8B can run locally on consumer hardware. At BF16 quantization it needs 20.6 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is GigaChat3.1 Audio 10B A1.8B?
At BF16, GigaChat3.1 Audio 10B A1.8B can reach ~213 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~32 tok/s. Speed depends mainly on GPU memory bandwidth. Real-world results typically within ±20%.
tok/s = (bandwidth GB/s ÷ model GB) × efficiency
Example: NVIDIA B200 → 8000 ÷ 20.6 × 0.65 = ~252 tok/s
Estimated speed at BF16 (20.6 GB)
~252 tok/s~32 tok/s~252 tok/s~213 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
