alt Hacker NewsYou can run the ~4 bit quant(s) on 24gb, if you're not _too_ picky on context size.
This will hopefully be better, though it'd be a _very_ surprising increase in performace at the size they say. Would love to see more about how it benchmarks.

You can trivially run 131k on 24GB 4bit, and there are repos with tweaks that allow you to get the full 262k but idk if there's degradation with their approach.

I'm doing the same with a context of about 128-150k Surprisingly, I get subjectively better results with Unsloth's 3 bit quants (UD-Q3-XL something), than their 4 bit quants (S or M)
I run Unsloth's UD-Q4_K_S on 20 GB of VRAM (RX 7900 XT) and I get ~90k tokens of context without quantizing KV cache. With 8-bit quantization, I get about a 134k token context window. That's with only one slot, but for me, it works pretty darn well, with 20-35 tok/s depending on how full that window is.
