Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Ring 2.6 1T need?
Ring 2.6 1T requires 2057.0 GB of VRAM at BF16. Full 131K context adds up to 338.2 GB (2395.2 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 1025.7B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 2051.3 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 5.7 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 343.9 GB (at full 131K context)
