Arithmetic

What 40 GB holds

Weights alone, at 2 bytes per parameter (FP16), 40 GB holds about 20B parameters; at 1 byte (FP8), 40B; at half a byte (INT4), 80B. A 14 GB 7B model at FP16 fits in 40 GB, and a 26 GB 13B model at FP16 fits. These figures leave out the KV cache and activations, which take more memory as context and batch size grow, so treat them as a ceiling.
