Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct is an instruction-tuned vision model from Meta, part of the Llama 3.2 collection that the company framed as the follow-up to Llama 3.1. Meta's announcement headlined open, customizable models for edge AI and vision, saying the vision models are drop-in replacements for their text equivalents while, by its claim, exceeding closed models like Claude 3 Haiku on image understanding. The 90B model is built for image reasoning tasks such as understanding charts and graphs at the document level, captioning images, and visual grounding.

}Frequently asked questions
Running locally
By our estimate, Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct needs about 63.2 GB at Q4, 110.5 GB at Q8 and 207.5 GB at FP16 of VRAM. That covers the weights plus headroom for a short context, and longer contexts need more.
No, by our estimates Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct does not fit fully on a 24 GB GPU even at Q4. It needs more VRAM or offloading to system memory.
Yes, a Mac with at least 96 GB of unified memory should run Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct at Q4, which needs an estimated 63.2 GB. This assumes macOS gives the GPU about 75% of unified memory.
Privacy and data
Yes, Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct has open weights, so you can run it on your own hardware and keep prompts on your own machines.
