Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does OmniCoder 9B need?
OmniCoder 9B requires 6.2 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 19.4 GB at BF16. Full 262K context adds up to 34.1 GB (40.3 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 9.4B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 5.6 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.6 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 34.7 GB (at full 262K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M6.2 GBQ4_K_M + full context40.3 GB- What's the best quantization for OmniCoder 9B?
For OmniCoder 9B, Q4_K_M (6.2 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q4_K_L (6.3 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is IQ2_S at 3.5 GB.

- Can I run OmniCoder 9B on a Mac?
OmniCoder 9B requires at least 3.5 GB at IQ2_S, 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 OmniCoder 9B locally?
Yes — OmniCoder 9B can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_K_M quantization it needs 6.2 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is OmniCoder 9B?
At Q4_K_M, OmniCoder 9B can reach ~709 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~106 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 ÷ 6.2 × 0.65 = ~837 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q4_K_M (6.2 GB)
~837 tok/s~106 tok/s~837 tok/s~709 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
- What's the download size of OmniCoder 9B?
At Q4_K_M, the download is about 5.65 GB. The full-precision BF16 version is 18.82 GB. The smallest option (IQ2_S) is 2.94 GB.
- Which GPUs can run OmniCoder 9B?
