How much RAM does Solar-Open2-250B need?

Solar-Open2-250B needs about 210 GB of memory at Q6_K quantization with 4K context. The download itself is 206 GB; the extra covers the context cache and a runtime allowance.

Can I run Solar-Open2-250B on a laptop?

Not on typical consumer hardware. Solar-Open2-250B needs 210 GB, which is beyond a normal laptop or desktop.

Solar-Open2-250B: hardware requirements

Solar-Open2-250B needs about 210 GB of memory at Q6_K quantization: a 206 GB download plus room for context and a runtime allowance. 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?

Quant	Download	RAM @ 4K	RAM @ 32K	Source
Q6_K	206 GB	210 GB	215 GB	prometheusAIR/Solar-Open2-250B-GGUF

Download sizes are measured from the published files named in the Source column. The RAM columns add the context cache, calculated from the model's configuration, and a runtime allowance of 10% of the download (at least 0.5GB, at most 3GB).
