Question 1

How much VRAM does CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf need?

Accepted Answer

CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf (13B) requires approximately 29.093090057373047 GB of VRAM at full precision (FP16), 14.5 GB at 8-bit quantization (Q8), and 7.3 GB at 4-bit quantization (Q4). The actual VRAM usage may be slightly higher due to KV cache and runtime overhead.

Question 2

What GPUs can run CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf?

Accepted Answer

We have 10 compatible GPUs indexed for CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf, including RTX 5090, A40, L40S, A100 40GB, L40 and 5 more. Compatibility is determined by whether the GPU's VRAM can fit the model's memory footprint, potentially using quantization to reduce memory usage.

Question 3

What is the cheapest GPU to run CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest GPU to run CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf in the cloud is the RTX 5090 at $0.44/hr. Other affordable options include A40 ($0.44/hr) and L40S ($0.60/hr). Prices reflect the lowest on-demand rate across cloud providers.

Question 4

Can CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf run on consumer hardware?

Accepted Answer

Yes, CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf can run on consumer GPUs like the RTX 5090 (32 GB VRAM) at full precision (FP16).

Question 5

What quantization options are available for CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf?

Accepted Answer

CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf supports the following quantization levels: FP16 (full precision): ~29.093090057373047 GB, Q8 (8-bit): ~14.5 GB, Q6 (6-bit): ~10.9 GB, Q4 (4-bit): ~7.3 GB. Lower quantization reduces VRAM usage at the cost of some quality loss. Q8 offers a good balance between quality and memory savings, while Q4 provides maximum compression.
