Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does YanoljaNEXT EEVE Instruct 2.8B need?
YanoljaNEXT EEVE Instruct 2.8B requires 6.6 GB of VRAM at BF16.
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 2.8B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 5.6 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 1 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
VRAM usage by quantization
BF166.6 GB- Can I run YanoljaNEXT EEVE Instruct 2.8B on a Mac?
YanoljaNEXT EEVE Instruct 2.8B requires at least 6.6 GB at BF16, 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 YanoljaNEXT EEVE Instruct 2.8B locally?
Yes — YanoljaNEXT EEVE Instruct 2.8B can run locally on consumer hardware. At BF16 quantization it needs 6.6 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is YanoljaNEXT EEVE Instruct 2.8B?
At BF16, YanoljaNEXT EEVE Instruct 2.8B can reach ~441 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~99 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 ÷ 6.6 × 0.55 = ~441 tok/s
Estimated speed at BF16 (6.6 GB)
~441 tok/s~99 tok/s~330 tok/s~273 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
