Quality is the published perplexity delta against f16 weights. Max context assumes an f16 KV cache; q8_0 roughly doubles it. This model interleaves sliding-window layers (1024 tokens, 10 of 60 layers global), which is why its cache barely grows with context.

The default. One binary, a model registry, an OpenAI-compatible port. More on Ollama.

01Download is 17.6 GB. Keep it on an SSD — a first load off a spinning disk takes minutes.

02Close anything else holding VRAM. A browser with hardware acceleration can sit on 1–2 GB.

03There is room to go to the model's full 256K context on this card.
