- How much VRAM does Huihui MoE 23B A4B Abliterated need?
Huihui MoE 23B A4B Abliterated requires 14.4 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 47.0 GB at BF16. Full 41K context adds up to 3.6 GB (18.0 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 23.2B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 13.9 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.5 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 4.1 GB (at full 41K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M14.4 GBQ4_K_M + full context18.0 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 run Huihui MoE 23B A4B Abliterated?
Yes, at Q8_0 (23.7 GB) or lower. Higher quantizations like BF16 (47.0 GB) exceed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090's 24 GB.
- What's the best quantization for Huihui MoE 23B A4B Abliterated?
For Huihui MoE 23B A4B Abliterated, Q4_K_M (14.4 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_K_M (17.1 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is Q2_K at 10.4 GB.
