Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Openbuddy Thinker 32B V26 Preview need?
Openbuddy Thinker 32B V26 Preview requires 66.4 GB of VRAM at BF16. Full 200K context adds up to 51.9 GB (118.3 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 32.8B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 65.5 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.9 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 52.8 GB (at full 200K context)
