Can the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB run Muse Glimmer?
Yes. Muse Glimmer fits the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB's 16 GB at Q4_K_M (about 11.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 17 tok/s. There's room for up to Q5_K_M if you want higher quality.

Muse Glimmer (18.1B) on 16 GB
| Quant | Weights | Needs | Fit | Est. speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 10 GB | 11.8 GB | Fits | ~17 tok/s |
| Q5_K_M | 13 GB | 14.8 GB | Tight | ~13 tok/s |
| Q8_0 | 19 GB | 20.8 GB | Too big | - |
| FP16 | 36 GB | 37.8 GB | Too big | - |
Estimates. Needs = weights + 1.8 GB for KV cache and runtime at modest context. Speed is single-stream decode scaled from the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB's 288 GB/s bandwidth (Estimated from memory bandwidth (llama.cpp decode)). Long contexts need more memory and run slower.

Frequently asked
Quick answers
Can the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB run Muse Glimmer?
Yes. Muse Glimmer fits the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB's 16 GB at Q4_K_M (about 11.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 17 tok/s. There's room for up to Q5_K_M if you want higher quality.
How much VRAM does Muse Glimmer need?
About 10 GB of weights at Q4_K_M, 19 GB at Q8_0 and 36 GB at FP16. Add roughly 1.8 GB for the KV cache and runtime at modest context lengths.
How fast is Muse Glimmer on the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB?
Roughly 17 tokens per second at Q4_K_M (single user, llama.cpp-style decode). This is an estimate from the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB's 288 GB/s memory bandwidth.
