Can I run this LLM?
Can a NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti (8GB) run Ternary Bonsai 2 27B?
Bonsai · Apache 2.0 · estimated for a 8.0 GB machine at 4K context.
Memory is tight; runtime support needs review.
Tight memoryBest fit: Ternary Bonsai 2 27B at PTQ1_0 · 6.0 GB weights · generation speed unverified on a NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti (8GB).
Requires vendor fork; stock runtime support is not assumed. Memory fit is shown separately; generation speed and first-token time are not verified for this selection.
Only the shipped native packs are available. Pack preference does not establish measured output quality. The trained context limit is 256K tokens. These estimates use 4K context.
