Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does OmniCoder 9B need?
OmniCoder 9B requires 6.0 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 9.6 GB at Q8_0. Full 262K context adds up to 34.1 GB (40.1 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 9B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 5.4 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_M6.0 GBQ4_K_M + full context40.1 GB- What's the best quantization for OmniCoder 9B?
For OmniCoder 9B, Q4_K_M (6.0 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q4_K_L (6.1 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is IQ2_S at 3.4 GB.

- Can I run OmniCoder 9B on a Mac?
OmniCoder 9B requires at least 3.4 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 6.0 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 ~488 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~110 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 ÷ 6.0 × 0.55 = ~488 tok/s
