VRAM by precision and context length

Weights plus the KV cache of one request (BF16 cache), in GiB. Add 1 to 3 GiB for the inference engine itself.

Kimi-K2.7-Code GGUF files

Exact size of each quantization in DevQuasar/moonshotai.Kimi-K2.7-Code-GGUF (opens in a new tab), and the smallest GPU that runs it with llama.cpp, Ollama or LM Studio and an 8K-token context.

How many GPUs to run Kimi-K2.7-Code

Fewest GPUs that fit the weights plus one 8K-token request. Data-center GPUs use vLLM (90% of memory usable), the others llama.cpp. Several GPUs split the model with tensor or pipeline parallelism.

8-bit: FP8 with vLLM (INT8 on GPUs without FP8), Q8_0 with llama.cpp. 4-bit: AWQ / GPTQ with vLLM, Q4_K_M with llama.cpp, both counted at the Q4_K_M size. —: the official INT4 weights do not run there: llama.cpp needs a GGUF version.

Cheapest way to run Kimi-K2.7-Code today

For each GPU: the fewest cards that fit Kimi-K2.7-Code with one 8K-token request, the most faithful weight format at that count, and the cheapest on-demand price (2026-10-11).

On-demand prices from RunPod, Vast.ai, Verda and Azure, checked every hour. Serving many users needs more KV cache, so more memory: size it in the calculator. Some links are affiliate links: StudioTV may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

KV cache: how memory grows with context

Architecture: 61 layers · MLA (512 + 64 latent) on 61. Its cache stays compact because MLA stores one compressed latent per token and layer instead of full keys and values. Only 33B parameters are active per token, but all 1027B must sit in memory: VRAM depends on the total, speed on the active part.
