Can you run it?

Estimated VRAM at 8K context unless noted. Pick your hardware to see the verdict per quantization.

File	Quant	Size	Est. VRAM	Verdict on RTX 4090 · 24 GB
model.safetensors	f8_e4m3	32.4 GB	40.8 GB	❌ Won’t fit
model.safetensors (bf16, full)	bf16 + 40K ctx	32.4 GB	59.1 GB	❌ Won’t fit

Estimate: file size × 1.1 + KV cache at 8K + 0.5 GB overhead. Not a benchmark — how we calculate this.
