Yes, just — 1.1 GB spare

LLM-jp 4 33B Thinking at Q4_K_M fits your L4 entirely on the GPU at 8K context, at an estimated 9.7 tokens per second. Past 12K the KV cache pushes it over — quantise the cache to q8_0, or step down a quantisation, to go longer.

Fully on GPU 8K context Q4_K_M · 18.7 GB Apache 2.0 Released 14 Aug 2026 New this week Not in the Ollama library

Japan’s national-institute reasoning model, Japanese and English. A plain dense Llama-style 33B: Q4 is a tight 24 GB fit.

Quality is the published perplexity delta against f16 weights. Max context assumes an f16 KV cache; q8_0 roughly doubles it.

How to run it

    -hf llm-jp/llm-jp-4-33b-thinking:Q4_K_M \
    -c 8192 -ngl 99

The engine underneath most of the others. Every knob is exposed. More on llama.cpp.

01Download is 18.7 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.
03Only 1.1 GB is spare, so a long system prompt can still push it over. Its real ceiling here is 12K context.
