Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled need?
Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled requires 2.9 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 8.5 GB at FP16. Full 262K context adds up to 24.0 GB (26.9 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 4B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 2.4 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.5 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 24.5 GB (at full 262K context)
