Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Hebatron need?
Hebatron requires 19.3 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 63.5 GB at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 9.1 GB (28.4 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 31.6B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 18.9 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.4 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 9.5 GB (at full 262K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M19.3 GBQ4_K_M + full context28.4 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 run Hebatron?
Yes, at Q5_K_M (22.9 GB) or lower. Higher quantizations like Q6_K (26.4 GB) exceed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090's 24 GB.
- What's the best quantization for Hebatron?
For Hebatron, Q4_K_M (19.3 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_K_M (22.9 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is Q2_K at 13.8 GB.

- Can I run Hebatron on a Mac?
Hebatron requires at least 13.8 GB at Q2_K, 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 Hebatron locally?
Yes — Hebatron can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_K_M quantization it needs 19.3 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Hebatron?
At Q4_K_M, Hebatron can reach ~228 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~34 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 ÷ 19.3 × 0.65 = ~269 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q4_K_M (19.3 GB)
~269 tok/s~34 tok/s~269 tok/s~228 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
- What's the download size of Hebatron?
At Q4_K_M, the download is about 18.95 GB. The full-precision BF16 version is 63.16 GB. The smallest option (Q2_K) is 13.42 GB.
- Which GPUs can run Hebatron?
8 consumer GPUs can run Hebatron at Q4_K_M (19.3 GB). Top options include NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX. 1 GPU have plenty of headroom for comfortable inference.
- Which devices can run Hebatron?
41 devices with unified memory can run Hebatron at Q4_K_M (19.3 GB), including AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Strix Point) Laptop, ASUS Ascent GX10, Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025, Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128 GB), Beelink GTR9 Pro (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.
