Frequently Asked Questions

How much VRAM does UIGEN T2 7B Rk3588 1.1.4 need?

UIGEN T2 7B Rk3588 1.1.4 requires 4.6 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 14.4 GB at BF16. Full 33K context adds up to 1.8 GB (6.4 GB total).

VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead

Weights = 7B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 4.2 GB

KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.4 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 ≈ 2.2 GB (at full 33K context)
