How it compares
Frequently asked questions
Running locally
OLMo 7B needs an estimated 5.3 GB of VRAM at Q4, 8.9 GB at Q8 and 16.3 GB at FP16. These are estimates based on the 6.9B parameter count, covering weights plus about 15% and 0.5 GB for a short context.
Yes, OLMo 7B fits on all four GPU sizes. A 24 GB GPU fits at FP16 (estimated 16.3 GB), 16 GB and 12 GB GPUs fit at Q8 (estimated 8.9 GB) and an 8 GB GPU fits at Q4 (estimated 5.3 GB).
Yes. At Q4 OLMo 7B needs an estimated 5.3 GB, and assuming macOS lets the GPU use about 75% of unified memory, the smallest common Mac memory size that fits Q4 is an estimated 8 GB.
