FAQ
Can the NVIDIA A100 40GB run Devstral Small 2?
Yes. The NVIDIA A100 40GB's 40.0GB of VRAM is enough to run Devstral Small 2 at fp16 quantization (15.0GB required).
What's the best quantization to use?
fp16 is the highest-precision quantization that fits in your 40.0GB. It uses about 15.0GB of memory and 16.5GB recommended for comfortable inference.
What if I need more headroom for context length?
KV cache memory grows with context length. The numbers above assume a baseline 2K-4K context. For long-context use (32K+), add another 2-6GB depending on the model architecture.
