- How much VRAM does LLaDA2.0 Mini need?
LLaDA2.0 Mini requires 10.1 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 32.9 GB at BF16. Full 33K context adds up to 1.3 GB (11.4 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 16.3B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 9.8 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.3 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 1.6 GB (at full 33K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M10.1 GBQ4_K_M + full context11.4 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 run LLaDA2.0 Mini?
Yes, at Q8_0 (16.6 GB) or lower. Higher quantizations like BF16 (32.9 GB) exceed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090's 24 GB.
- What's the best quantization for LLaDA2.0 Mini?
For LLaDA2.0 Mini, Q4_K_M (10.1 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_K_M (12.0 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is Q2_K at 7.3 GB.

- Can I run LLaDA2.0 Mini on a Mac?
LLaDA2.0 Mini requires at least 7.3 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 LLaDA2.0 Mini locally?
Yes — LLaDA2.0 Mini can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_K_M quantization it needs 10.1 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is LLaDA2.0 Mini?
At Q4_K_M, LLaDA2.0 Mini can reach ~239 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~406 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 ÷ 10.1 × 0.65 = ~786 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q4_K_M (10.1 GB)
~786 tok/s~406 tok/s~786 tok/s~724 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
- What's the download size of LLaDA2.0 Mini?
At Q4_K_M, the download is about 9.75 GB. The full-precision BF16 version is 32.51 GB. The smallest option (Q2_K) is 6.91 GB.
- Which GPUs can run LLaDA2.0 Mini?
