Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Hy MT2 30B A3B need?
Hy MT2 30B A3B requires 18.4 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 60.5 GB at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 12.8 GB (31.2 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 30.1B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 18 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.4 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 13.2 GB (at full 262K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M18.4 GBQ4_K_M + full context31.2 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 run Hy MT2 30B A3B?
Yes, at Q5_K_M (21.8 GB) or lower. Higher quantizations like Q6_K (25.2 GB) exceed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090's 24 GB.
- What's the best quantization for Hy MT2 30B A3B?
For Hy MT2 30B A3B, Q4_K_M (18.4 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_K_M (21.8 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is Q2_K at 13.2 GB.

- Can I run Hy MT2 30B A3B on a Mac?
Hy MT2 30B A3B requires at least 13.2 GB at Q2_K, 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 Hy MT2 30B A3B locally?
Yes — Hy MT2 30B A3B can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_K_M quantization it needs 18.4 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Hy MT2 30B A3B?
At Q4_K_M, Hy MT2 30B A3B can reach ~158 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~36 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 ÷ 18.4 × 0.55 = ~158 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q4_K_M (18.4 GB)
~158 tok/s~36 tok/s~118 tok/s~98 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
