Can the RTX 4070 Ti run Muse Glimmer?
Just. Muse Glimmer at Q4_K_M needs about 11.8 GB of the RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB, running at an estimated 40 tok/s. Keep context short and close other GPU apps.
Every quantization
Muse Glimmer (18.1B) on 12 GB
| Quant | Weights | Needs | Fit | Est. speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 10 GB | 11.8 GB | Tight | ~40 tok/s |
| Q5_K_M | 13 GB | 14.8 GB | Too big | - |
| 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 4070 Ti's 504.2 GB/s bandwidth (XiongjieDai/GPU-Benchmarks-on-LLM-Inference). Long contexts need more memory and run slower.

Frequently asked
Quick answers
Can the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti run Muse Glimmer?
Just. Muse Glimmer at Q4_K_M needs about 11.8 GB of the RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB, running at an estimated 40 tok/s. Keep context short and close other GPU apps.
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 4070 Ti?
Roughly 40 tokens per second at Q4_K_M (single user, llama.cpp-style decode). This is an estimate from the RTX 4070 Ti's 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth.
