Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Limite 1B Violetto need?
Limite 1B Violetto requires 2.5 GB of VRAM at BF16. Full 131K context adds up to 6.3 GB (8.8 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 1.0B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 2.1 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.4 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 6.7 GB (at full 131K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
BF162.5 GBBF16 + full context8.8 GB- Can I run Limite 1B Violetto on a Mac?
Limite 1B Violetto requires at least 2.5 GB at BF16, 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 Limite 1B Violetto locally?
Yes — Limite 1B Violetto can run locally on consumer hardware. At BF16 quantization it needs 2.5 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Limite 1B Violetto?
At BF16, Limite 1B Violetto can reach ~1943 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~265 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 ÷ 2.5 × 0.65 = ~2105 tok/s
Estimated speed at BF16 (2.5 GB)
~2105 tok/s~265 tok/s~2105 tok/s~1943 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
