Agares-31B-v1
DarkArtsForge/Agares-31B-v1Agares-31B-v1 at I1-IQ1_S is exactly 7,156,490,656 bytes (6.67 GiB / 7.16 GB) — an effective 1.863 bits per weight, not the nominal 1. Its KV cache at 32K is 6.17 GiB, not the 30.00 GiB a flat formula predicts.

50 of 60 layers cache only a 1,024-token window rather than the full context, on a period of . Figures assume the default configuration; --swa-full disables the saving entirely.

Why other calculators give a different number
A parameters × bits ÷ 8 estimate puts I1-IQ1_S at roughly 16.10 GiB. The real file is 6.67 GiB, because a quantization is a mixture and some tensors are always kept at higher precision. The larger discrepancy is the cache: a flat formula gives 30.00 GiB at 32K context where the real figure is 6.17 GiB, because most of this model's layers cache a fixed window rather than the whole context.
Architecture
Questions people ask
- How much VRAM does Agares-31B-v1 need?
- I1-IQ1_S is exactly 7,156,490,656 bytes (6.67 GiB) in weights. Add the KV cache, which depends on your context length, plus roughly half a gigabyte of runtime overhead.
- How large is Agares-31B-v1's KV cache?
- 6.17 GiB at 32K context with an f16 cache, computed per layer. Quantizing the cache to q8_0 roughly halves it, which is often the difference between a context length fitting and not.
- Which quantization of Agares-31B-v1 should I use?
- Q4_K_M is the usual default. Pick the largest quantization that fits your card at the context you actually need — the table above gives exact sizes for every one published.
