Architecture Settings

Select a model preset or configure manual parameters to estimate VRAM usage.

Number of simultaneous chat/inference user streams.
Model Weights RAM 0 GB Static VRAM footprint
KV Cache Size 0 GB Dynamic stream allocation
Total Required VRAM 0 GB Includes 20% system buffer

⚙️ Architectural Calculations

The estimation is derived from standard GPU serving equations:

  • Weights Size: Weight Memory = Parameters (B) × Bytes-per-Weight × 1.2 (CUDA Overhead)
  • KV Cache (GQA) Size: KV Cache Memory = 2 × Layers × KV-Heads × Head-Dimension × 2 (FP16 Bytes) × Batch × Sequence-Length
