Hy4-preview: hardware requirements

Hy4-preview needs about 471 GB of memory at Q4 quantization — a 467 GB download plus room for context and overhead. That is beyond consumer hardware; use it through an API instead.

Download sizes by quantization

Lower quantization means a smaller file and less memory, at some cost to quality. Q4_K_M is the usual starting point. What is this?

“Measured” sizes are read from published GGUF files (AngelSlim/Hy4-preview-GGUF). “Estimated” sizes are derived from the parameter count and are typically within a few percent. The RAM columns add the context cache and runtime overhead to the download size.
