Frequently Asked Questions

How much VRAM does Llama 3.2 3B Wildguard Ko 2410 need?

Llama 3.2 3B Wildguard Ko 2410 requires 2.5 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 7.0 GB at FP16. Full 131K context adds up to 14.8 GB (17.3 GB total).

VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead

Weights = 3.2B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 1.9 GB

KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.6 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 ≈ 15.4 GB (at full 131K context)
