Frequently Asked Questions
How much VRAM does Qwen3.5 4B MiniFantasy MTP need?
Qwen3.5 4B MiniFantasy MTP requires 9.8 GB of VRAM at FP16. Full 262K context adds up to 5.2 GB (15.0 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 4.7B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 9.3 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.5 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 ≈ 5.7 GB (at full 262K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Can I run Qwen3.5 4B MiniFantasy MTP on a Mac?
Yes — Mac Mini M2 Pro (16 GB) and 133 other Macs can run Qwen3.5 4B MiniFantasy MTP. Apple Silicon uses unified memory, so the model shares RAM with the system. At FP16 you need at least 9.8 GB of usable unified memory (RAM minus macOS overhead).
Can I run Qwen3.5 4B MiniFantasy MTP locally?
Yes — Qwen3.5 4B MiniFantasy MTP can run locally on consumer hardware. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
How fast is Qwen3.5 4B MiniFantasy MTP?
At FP16, Qwen3.5 4B MiniFantasy MTP can reach ~490 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~67 tok/s. Speed depends mainly on GPU memory bandwidth. Real-world results typically within ±20%.
tok/s = (bandwidth GB/s ÷ model GB) × efficiency
Example: NVIDIA B200 → 8000 ÷ 9.8 × 0.65 = ~531 tok/s
Estimated speed at FP16 (9.8 GB)
Real-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
What's the download size of Qwen3.5 4B MiniFantasy MTP?
At FP16, the download is about 9.32 GB.
