Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Gemma 4 31B StyleTune need?
Gemma 4 31B StyleTune requires 67.0 GB of VRAM at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 167.8 GB (234.8 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 32.7B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 65.4 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 1.6 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 169.4 GB (at full 262K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
BF1667.0 GBBF16 + full context234.8 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 run Gemma 4 31B StyleTune?
No — Gemma 4 31B StyleTune requires at least 67.0 GB at BF16, which exceeds the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090's 32 GB of VRAM.
- Can I run Gemma 4 31B StyleTune on a Mac?
Gemma 4 31B StyleTune requires at least 67.0 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 Gemma 4 31B StyleTune locally?
Yes — Gemma 4 31B StyleTune can run locally on consumer hardware. At BF16 quantization it needs 67.0 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Gemma 4 31B StyleTune?
At BF16, Gemma 4 31B StyleTune can reach ~66 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. 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 ÷ 67.0 × 0.65 = ~78 tok/s
Estimated speed at BF16 (67.0 GB)
~78 tok/s~78 tok/s~66 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
- What's the download size of Gemma 4 31B StyleTune?
At BF16, the download is about 65.36 GB.
- Which GPUs can run Gemma 4 31B StyleTune?
No single consumer GPU has enough VRAM to run Gemma 4 31B StyleTune at BF16 (67.0 GB). Multi-GPU or professional hardware is required.
- Which devices can run Gemma 4 31B StyleTune?
19 devices with unified memory can run Gemma 4 31B StyleTune at BF16 (67.0 GB), including ASUS Ascent GX10, Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025, Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128 GB), Beelink GTR9 Pro (Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128 GB), Framework Desktop (Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128 GB). Apple Silicon Macs use unified memory shared between CPU and GPU, making them well-suited for local LLM inference.
