Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Datarus R1 14B Preview need?
Datarus R1 14B Preview requires 8.1 GB of VRAM at Q4_0, or 15.5 GB at Q8_0. Full 131K context adds up to 25.4 GB (33.5 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 14.8B × 4 bits ÷ 8 = 7.4 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.7 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 26.1 GB (at full 131K context)
VRAM usage by quantization

- Can I run Datarus R1 14B Preview on a Mac?
Datarus R1 14B Preview requires at least 8.1 GB at Q4_0, 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 Datarus R1 14B Preview locally?
Yes — Datarus R1 14B Preview can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_0 quantization it needs 8.1 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Datarus R1 14B Preview?
At Q4_0, Datarus R1 14B Preview can reach ~360 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~81 tok/s. Speed depends mainly on GPU memory bandwidth. Real-world results typically within ±20%.
tok/s = (bandwidth GB/s ÷ model GB) × efficiency
Example: AMD Instinct MI300X → 5300 ÷ 8.1 × 0.55 = ~360 tok/s
