MiMo V2.6 Flash VRAM requirements

MiMo V2.6 Flash has 310.8B parameters, of which about 15B are used per token; all 256 experts still have to be in memory. With an 8K-token context and one request it needs about 193 GB of GPU memory at Q4_K_M, 319 GB at FP8 and 637 GB at FP16/BF16. The published weights take 161 GB (4.5 bits/weight). No single GPU in the table holds it at Q4_K_M; it needs a multi-GPU setup.

VRAM by quantization

Weights plus the KV cache for 8,192 tokens in FP16 and the runtime overhead (0.5 GB plus 10%). Each row opens the calculator with that setting. What the GGUF names mean.

KV cache at long context

9 of its 48 layers use full attention and 39 keep a sliding window of 128 tokens. Each extra token of context adds 23 KB of FP16 cache per request once the sliding windows are full. How the KV cache works.
