Which GPUs Can Run T Search?
BF16 · 72.3 GBT Search (BF16) requires 72.3 GB of VRAM to load the model weights. For comfortable inference with headroom for KV cache and system overhead, 94+ GB is recommended. Using the full 262K context window can add up to 10.6 GB, bringing total usage to 82.9 GB. No single GPU has enough memory — multi-GPU or cluster setups are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does T Search need?
T Search requires 72.3 GB of VRAM at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 10.6 GB (82.9 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 36.0B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 71.9 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.4 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 11 GB (at full 262K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
BF1672.3 GBBF16 + full context82.9 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 run T Search?
No — T Search requires at least 72.3 GB at BF16, which exceeds the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090's 32 GB of VRAM.
- Can I run T Search on a Mac?
T Search requires at least 72.3 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 T Search locally?
Yes — T Search can run locally on consumer hardware. At BF16 quantization it needs 72.3 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is T Search?
At BF16, T Search can reach ~61 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. 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 ÷ 72.3 × 0.65 = ~72 tok/s
Estimated speed at BF16 (72.3 GB)
~72 tok/s~72 tok/s~61 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
- What's the download size of T Search?
At BF16, the download is about 71.90 GB.
- Which GPUs can run T Search?
No single consumer GPU has enough VRAM to run T Search at BF16 (72.3 GB). Multi-GPU or professional hardware is required.
- Which devices can run T Search?
19 devices with unified memory can run T Search at BF16 (72.3 GB), including ASUS Ascent GX10, Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025, Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128 GB), 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.
