Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Turkish Gemma 9B v0.1 need?
Turkish Gemma 9B v0.1 requires 19.4 GB of VRAM at BF16. Full 8K context adds up to 1.9 GB (21.3 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 9.2B × 16 bits ÷ 8 = 18.5 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.9 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 2.8 GB (at full 8K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
BF1619.4 GBBF16 + full context21.3 GB- Can I run Turkish Gemma 9B v0.1 on a Mac?
Turkish Gemma 9B v0.1 requires at least 19.4 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 Turkish Gemma 9B v0.1 locally?
Yes — Turkish Gemma 9B v0.1 can run locally on consumer hardware. At BF16 quantization it needs 19.4 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Turkish Gemma 9B v0.1?
At BF16, Turkish Gemma 9B v0.1 can reach ~150 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~34 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 ÷ 19.4 × 0.55 = ~150 tok/s
Estimated speed at BF16 (19.4 GB)
~150 tok/s~34 tok/s~112 tok/s~93 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
- What's the download size of Turkish Gemma 9B v0.1?
At BF16, the download is about 18.48 GB.
