The larger the model size, the stronger its capabilities generally are, and model size is constrained by GPU resources; smaller models such as 7B, 8B, and even 4B can often run on a single GPU

UnverifiedThe core metric for determining whether a graphics card is sufficient is VRAM size; the larger the model, the better the GPU required, and multiple GPUs connected in parallel may even be needed.79% similarVerifiedRunning a 7B parameter model requires at least 8GB of VRAM, while a 70B parameter model requires a professional-grade GPU.77% similarUnverifiedModels with 2B parameters can run on a single consumer-grade GPU or even a high-performance CPU during inference, with memory usage typically not exceeding 2GB after INT4 quantization.77% similarUnverifiedWhether a model fits entirely in VRAM is more important than the absolute size of the model file; once CPU offloading occurs, the data transfer overhead between GPU and CPU negates the space advantage of a smaller model.76% similarUnverifiedEven if distillation makes individual models smaller, the expansion of application scenarios and user numbers may drive greater GPU shipment volumes.75% similar
