Understanding LLM VRAM Requirements
How much VRAM you need depends on the model size and quantization level. Quantization reduces the precision of model weights, trading small quality losses for significantly lower VRAM usage. For example, a 7B parameter model needs ~14 GB at FP16 but only ~4 GB at Q4_K_M quantization.

Hy3
Tencent · 298.8B · runs from 127.6 GB
Hy3 is Tencent's flagship Hunyuan 3 model, a mixture-of-experts design with roughly 299 billion total parameters and about 21 billion active per token. It combines fast and slow "thinking" modes in one architecture for reasoning, coding, and agent workloads. Only the active parameters compute per token, cutting cost versus a same-sized dense model, but all 299 billion weights must sit in memory, putting it in server-class territory; most people use a hosted endpoint, and local use needs multiple GPUs. The model supports a 262K token context window. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, permitting unrestricted commercial and research use. Published in July 2026, Hy3 is integrated across Tencent's products, including its CodeBuddy assistant.
