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 4.5 GB at Q8_0. 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)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M2.9 GBQ4_K_M + full context26.9 GB- What's the best quantization for Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled?
For Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled, Q4_K_M (2.9 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_0 (3.0 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is IQ2_XXS at 1.6 GB.

- Can I run Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled on a Mac?
Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled requires at least 1.6 GB at IQ2_XXS, 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 Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled locally?
Yes — Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_K_M quantization it needs 2.9 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled?
At Q4_K_M, Qwen3 4B Gemini 3.1 Pro Reasoning Distilled can reach ~1009 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~227 tok/s. Speed depends mainly on GPU memory bandwidth. Real-world results typically within ±20%.
tok/s = (bandwidth GB/s ÷ model GB) × efficiency
Example: AMD Instinct MI300X → 5300 ÷ 2.9 × 0.55 = ~1009 tok/s
