VRAM required & cheapest live GPU fit

Required VRAM = weight size at each precision, plus a fixed overhead for KV-cache, activations, and fragmentation. Full formula and assumptions: methodology.

A GPU is only matched to a row if its hardware supports that precision, and the primary recommendation is always a single-GPU fit when one exists.

INT4 caveat: requires a quantized checkpoint actually published for this model, check its Hugging Face page before relying on this row.
