Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Veritas 8B Fact Checker Non Thinking 1.0 need?
Veritas 8B Fact Checker Non Thinking 1.0 requires 17.0 GB of VRAM at BF16. Full 41K context adds up to 5.7 GB (22.7 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 8.2B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 16.4 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.6 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 6.3 GB (at full 41K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
BF1617.0 GBBF16 + full context22.7 GB- Can I run Veritas 8B Fact Checker Non Thinking 1.0 on a Mac?
Veritas 8B Fact Checker Non Thinking 1.0 requires at least 17.0 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 Veritas 8B Fact Checker Non Thinking 1.0 locally?
Yes — Veritas 8B Fact Checker Non Thinking 1.0 can run locally on consumer hardware. At BF16 quantization it needs 17.0 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Veritas 8B Fact Checker Non Thinking 1.0?
At BF16, Veritas 8B Fact Checker Non Thinking 1.0 can reach ~172 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~39 tok/s. Speed depends mainly on GPU memory bandwidth. Real-world results typically within ±20%.
tok/s = (bandwidth GB/s ÷ model GB) × efficiency
Example: AMD Instinct MI300X → 5300 ÷ 17.0 × 0.55 = ~172 tok/s
Estimated speed at BF16 (17.0 GB)
~172 tok/s~39 tok/s~128 tok/s~106 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
