Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does UIGEN T3 14B Preview need?
UIGEN T3 14B Preview requires 9.5 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 30.2 GB at BF16. Full 41K context adds up to 6.4 GB (15.9 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 14.8B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 8.9 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.6 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 7 GB (at full 41K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M9.5 GBQ4_K_M + full context15.9 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 run UIGEN T3 14B Preview?
Yes, at Q8_0 (15.4 GB) or lower. Higher quantizations like BF16 (30.2 GB) exceed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090's 24 GB.
- What's the best quantization for UIGEN T3 14B Preview?
For UIGEN T3 14B Preview, Q4_K_M (9.5 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_K_M (11.2 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is Q2_K at 6.9 GB.

- Can I run UIGEN T3 14B Preview on a Mac?
UIGEN T3 14B Preview requires at least 6.9 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 UIGEN T3 14B Preview locally?
Yes — UIGEN T3 14B Preview can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_K_M quantization it needs 9.5 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is UIGEN T3 14B Preview?
At Q4_K_M, UIGEN T3 14B Preview can reach ~463 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~69 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 ÷ 9.5 × 0.65 = ~547 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q4_K_M (9.5 GB)
~547 tok/s~69 tok/s~547 tok/s~463 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
