Where it's used

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

Served by 1 API provider; heavily run locally (78 quantized builds); a big base for builders (230 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).

Will it fit?

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method

Fits a 16 GB card at INT4

About 8.9 GB at INT4, 18 GB at FP8, 35 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.
