Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Cyber Ornith 1.5 9B OBLITERATED need?
Cyber Ornith 1.5 9B OBLITERATED requires 5.9 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 18.5 GB at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 8.3 GB (14.3 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 9.0B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 5.4 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.5 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
Fit ratings and hardware model lists check this model with room for a 16K-token context, which needs a little more memory.
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 8.9 GB (at full 262K context)
