Eurus 2 7B PRIME — Hardware Requirements & GPU Compatibility
Chat
Eurus-2-7B-PRIME is a 7.6-billion-parameter reasoning model from the PRIME-RL project, built on Qwen2.5-Math-7B-Base and trained with PRIME (Process Reinforcement through Implicit Rewards), an open-source online reinforcement-learning method that scores intermediate reasoning steps rather than only final answers. It starts from the Eurus-2-7B-SFT checkpoint and is trained further on the Eurus-2-RL-Data set, focused on math and coding problem-solving. The card reports a 16.7% average improvement over the SFT starting point, with over 20% gains on AMC and AIME competition math, enough to surpass the larger Qwen2.5-Math-7B-Instruct on several reasoning benchmarks. At this size it fits on a single consumer GPU. Context length is 4,096 tokens. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, permitting unrestricted commercial and research use, and was published in December 2024.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much VRAM does Eurus 2 7B PRIME need?
Eurus 2 7B PRIME requires 5.0 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 15.7 GB at BF16.
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 7.6B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 4.6 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 ≈ 0.5 GB (at full 4K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
What's the best quantization for Eurus 2 7B PRIME?
For Eurus 2 7B PRIME, Q4_K_M (5.0 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q4_K_L (5.1 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is IQ2_XXS at 2.5 GB.
VRAM requirement by quantization
★ Recommended — best balance of quality and VRAM usage.
Can I run Eurus 2 7B PRIME on a Mac?
Yes — MacBook Air 13" M3 (8 GB) and 145 other Macs can run Eurus 2 7B PRIME, the smallest at Q3_K_L. Apple Silicon uses unified memory, so the model shares RAM with the system. At Q4_K_M you need at least 5.0 GB of usable unified memory (RAM minus macOS overhead), from Mac Mini M2 Pro (16 GB).
Can I run Eurus 2 7B PRIME locally?
