FAQ

Can the NVIDIA RTX 4090 run Devstral Small 2?

Yes. The NVIDIA RTX 4090's 24.0GB 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 24.0GB. 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.
