Frequently Asked Questions
How much VRAM does Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E need?
Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E requires 0.9 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 2.1 GB at BF16. Full 41K context adds up to 2.2 GB (3.2 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 860M × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 0.5 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.4 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 ≈ 2.7 GB (at full 41K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
What's the best quantization for Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E?
For Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E, Q4_K_M (0.9 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_K_M (1.0 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is Q2_K at 0.8 GB.
VRAM requirement by quantization
★ Recommended — best balance of quality and VRAM usage.
Can I run Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E on a Mac?
Yes — MacBook Air 13" M3 (8 GB) and 145 other Macs can run Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E. Apple Silicon uses unified memory, so the model shares RAM with the system. At Q4_K_M you need at least 0.9 GB of usable unified memory (RAM minus macOS overhead).
Can I run Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E locally?
Yes — Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E can run locally on consumer hardware. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
How fast is Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E?
At Q4_K_M, Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E can reach ~174 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~396 tok/s. Speed depends mainly on GPU memory bandwidth. Real-world results typically within ±20%.
tok/s = 1000 ÷ (active GB ÷ (bandwidth GB/s × efficiency) × 1000 + layers × routing ms)
Mixture-of-Experts: just the active experts get read for each token, along with a fixed routing cost per layer.
Example: NVIDIA B200 → 0.6 GB active ÷ (8000 × 0.65) = 0.124 ms, plus 28 layers × 0.055 ms = 1.540 ms, so 1000 ÷ 1.664 ms = ~601 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q4_K_M (0.9 GB)
Real-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
What's the download size of Huihui MoE 0.8B 2E?
At Q4_K_M, the download is about 0.52 GB. The full-precision BF16 version is 1.72 GB. The smallest option (Q2_K) is 0.37 GB.
