Frequently Asked Questions
How much VRAM does Gollem V4 250M Pl need?
Gollem V4 250M Pl requires 0.6 GB of VRAM at BF16.
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 250M × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 0.5 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.1 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.
VRAM usage by quantization
Can I run Gollem V4 250M Pl on a Mac?
Yes — MacBook Air 13" M3 (8 GB) and 145 other Macs can run Gollem V4 250M Pl. Apple Silicon uses unified memory, so the model shares RAM with the system. At BF16 you need at least 0.6 GB of usable unified memory (RAM minus macOS overhead).
Can I run Gollem V4 250M Pl locally?
Yes — Gollem V4 250M Pl can run locally on consumer hardware. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
How fast is Gollem V4 250M Pl?
At BF16, Gollem V4 250M Pl can reach ~8727 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~1191 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 ÷ 0.55 × 0.65 = ~9455 tok/s
Estimated speed at BF16 (0.6 GB)
Real-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
What's the download size of Gollem V4 250M Pl?
At BF16, the download is about 0.50 GB.
Which GPUs can run Gollem V4 250M Pl?
52 consumer GPUs can run Gollem V4 250M Pl at BF16. Top options include AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, AMD Radeon RX 6800, AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. 52 GPUs have plenty of headroom for comfortable inference.
Which devices can run Gollem V4 250M Pl?
163 devices with unified memory can run Gollem V4 250M Pl at BF16 (0.6 GB), including AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Strix Point) Laptop, ASUS Ascent GX10, Beelink GTR9 Pro (Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128 GB), Framework Desktop (Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128 GB). Apple Silicon Macs use unified memory shared between CPU and GPU, making them well-suited for local LLM inference.
