Holo4 27B — Hardware Requirements & GPU Compatibility
VisionFunctions
Holo4-27B is H Company's 27-billion-parameter dense vision-language model for computer use, built on Qwen3.8-27B. Paired with the company's hai-agents harness, it receives screenshots and tool results and returns clicks, typing, code and tool calls across web, desktop and mobile environments rather than serving as a general chat model. The card reports 85.2% on OSWorld and 61.7% on OSWorld 2.0. At 27 billion parameters it fits a single high-end or workstation GPU once quantized, and H Company publishes FP8, NVFP4 and Q4 GGUF variants. The model supports a 262,144 token context window. Unlike its Apache 2.0 base model and the MoE sibling, its weights are released under CC BY-NC 4.0, which is non-commercial. It was published in September 2026 alongside Holo4-35B-A3B, which is built on a Qwen3.6 mixture-of-experts base.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Holo4 27B need?
Holo4 27B requires 17.2 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 55.5 GB at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 56.8 GB (74.0 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 27.4B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 16.4 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.8 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 57.6 GB (at full 262K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M17.2 GBQ4_K_M + full context74.0 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 run Holo4 27B?
Yes, at Q6_K (23.3 GB) or lower. Higher quantizations like Q8_0 (28.1 GB) exceed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090's 24 GB.
- What's the best quantization for Holo4 27B?
For Holo4 27B, Q4_K_M (17.2 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_K_S (19.6 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is IQ2_XXS at 8.3 GB.

- Can I run Holo4 27B on a Mac?
Holo4 27B requires at least 8.3 GB at IQ2_XXS, 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 Holo4 27B locally?
Yes — Holo4 27B can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_K_M quantization it needs 17.2 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Holo4 27B?
At Q4_K_M, Holo4 27B can reach ~280 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~38 tok/s. 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 ÷ 17.2 × 0.65 = ~303 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q4_K_M (17.2 GB)
