Dense 30B model with a ~1.8B vision encoder; 4-bit quantized variants target 24/32 GB VRAM (full precision ~64GB). Ships with a DFlash speculative decoding drafter.

How much VRAM does Muse Glimmer 30B need?

At Q4_K_M, Muse Glimmer 30B needs about 17 GB of memory at 8k context and 17 GB at 32k, counting the weights, the KV cache and runtime buffers.

What is the best GPU for running Muse Glimmer 30B locally?

The cheapest hardware in Germany that runs Muse Glimmer 30B fully in memory at 32k context is the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT, 899 € at Amazon, at about 25 tok/s (estimated). The fastest we price is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, at about 46 tok/s.

Can I run Muse Glimmer 30B on a 16 GB GPU?

Only partly: at 32k context it does not fit in 16 GB, so part of it runs from system RAM and it slows to about 10 tok/s on the Intel Arc A770 16GB (estimated).

Can I run Muse Glimmer 30B on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes: at Q6_K it fits fully in 24 GB at 32k context. On the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti it runs at about 26 tok/s (estimated).

How do I run Muse Glimmer 30B locally?
