Why other calculators give a different number

A parameters × bits ÷ 8 estimate puts Q4_K_M at roughly 4.29 GiB. The real file is 4.68 GiB, because a quantization is a mixture and some tensors are always kept at higher precision.

Questions people ask

How much VRAM does Marco-DeepResearch-8B need?
Q4_K_M is exactly 5,027,784,128 bytes (4.68 GiB) in weights. Add the KV cache, which depends on your context length, plus roughly half a gigabyte of runtime overhead.
How large is Marco-DeepResearch-8B's KV cache?
4.50 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 Marco-DeepResearch-8B 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.
