Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Huihui Qwen3.6 35B A3B Claude 4.7 Opus Abliterated MLX 8bit need?
Huihui Qwen3.6 35B A3B Claude 4.7 Opus Abliterated MLX 8bit requires 21.2 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 35.0 GB at Q8_0. Full 262K context adds up to 10.6 GB (31.8 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 34.7B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 20.8 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.4 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 11 GB (at full 262K context)
