VRAM by precision and context length

Weights plus the KV cache of one request (BF16 cache) and the model's fixed recurrent state, in GiB. Add 1 to 3 GiB for the inference engine itself.

Ornith 1.5 397B GGUF files

Exact size of each quantization in bartowski/Ornith-1.5-397B-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 Ornith 1.5 397B

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.

Cheapest way to run Ornith 1.5 397B today

For each GPU: the fewest cards that fit Ornith 1.5 397B with one 8K-token request, the most faithful weight format at that count, and the cheapest on-demand price (2026-10-10).

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: 60 layers · 15 full attention (2 KV × 256) · 45 linear attention. Its KV cache is 4.0× smaller than if every layer used full attention, because only 15 of its 60 layers keep a KV cache; the others hold a small fixed-size state. Only 18B parameters are active per token, but all 403B must sit in memory: VRAM depends on the total, speed on the active part.

Plus 183 MiB of recurrent state per request, whatever the context.
