Can you run suayptalha/EmojiLlama-3.1-8B on RTX 3060 12GB?

suayptalha/EmojiLlama-3.1-8B needs ~18.42 GB of memory (weights + KV cache at 8192 tokens); that is more than the 12 GB on RTX 3060 12GB, so it does not fit. Smallest quant that fits: Q2_K. Computed from stated size and quant, not a runtime guarantee.

How this was computed

  • Weights + KV cache at the stated context + a runtime/overhead allowance; memory capacity only, not a benchmark.

Next steps

Methodology: weights + KV-cache at 8192 tokens + a runtime overhead allowance, from the recommended download size, parameter count, and quant. Computed from stated size and quant, not a runtime guarantee. Not a benchmark; runtimes differ.
