Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored need?
Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored requires 52.3 GB of VRAM at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 43.9 GB (96.2 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 25.8B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 51.6 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.7 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 44.6 GB (at full 262K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
BF1652.3 GBBF16 + full context96.2 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 run Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored?
No — Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored requires at least 52.3 GB at BF16, which exceeds the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090's 32 GB of VRAM.
- Can I run Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored on a Mac?
Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored requires at least 52.3 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 Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored locally?
Yes — Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored can run locally on consumer hardware. At BF16 quantization it needs 52.3 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored?
At BF16, Diffusiongemma 26B A4B IT HERETIC Uncensored can reach ~56 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. 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 ÷ 52.3 × 0.55 = ~56 tok/s
Estimated speed at BF16 (52.3 GB)
~56 tok/s~42 tok/s~35 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
