Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Ornith 1.0 397B need?
Ornith 1.0 397B requires 238.5 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 794.0 GB at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 16.0 GB (254.5 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 396.8B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 238.1 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.4 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 16.4 GB (at full 262K context)
