Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does MiMo V2.5 need?
MiMo V2.5 requires 186.9 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 622.0 GB at BF16. Full 1049K context adds up to 51.4 GB (238.3 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 310.8B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 186.5 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.4 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 51.8 GB (at full 1049K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M186.9 GBQ4_K_M + full context238.3 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 run MiMo V2.5?
No — MiMo V2.5 requires at least 85.9 GB at IQ2_XXS, which exceeds the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090's 32 GB of VRAM.
- What's the best quantization for MiMo V2.5?
For MiMo V2.5, Q4_K_M (186.9 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q4_K_L (190.8 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is IQ2_XXS at 85.9 GB.

- Can I run MiMo V2.5 on a Mac?
MiMo V2.5 requires at least 85.9 GB at IQ2_XXS, 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 MiMo V2.5 locally?
Yes — MiMo V2.5 can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_K_M quantization it needs 186.9 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is MiMo V2.5?
At Q4_K_M, MiMo V2.5 can reach ~16 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. 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 ÷ 186.9 × 0.55 = ~16 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q4_K_M (186.9 GB)
~16 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
- What's the download size of MiMo V2.5?
At Q4_K_M, the download is about 186.47 GB. The full-precision BF16 version is 621.55 GB. The smallest option (IQ2_XXS) is 85.46 GB.
- Which GPUs can run MiMo V2.5?
No single consumer GPU has enough VRAM to run MiMo V2.5 at Q4_K_M (186.9 GB). Multi-GPU or professional hardware is required.
- Which devices can run MiMo V2.5?
4 devices with unified memory can run MiMo V2.5 at Q4_K_M (186.9 GB), including Mac Pro M2 Ultra (192 GB), Mac Studio M2 Ultra (192 GB), NVIDIA DGX A100 640GB, NVIDIA DGX H100. Apple Silicon Macs use unified memory shared between CPU and GPU, making them well-suited for local LLM inference.
