Muse Glimmer 30B is a 29.78B-parameter model. At Q4_K_M it needs about 20.5 GB of memory. The NVIDIA RTX 3090 24GB has 22 GB usable, so it fits entirely in memory. Expect about 15 tokens/sec (13–17), with the first token after 0.4 s for a short prompt. This estimate is projected from the hardware specs; no benchmarks exist yet.
| Quantization | File size | Memory | Generation | First token | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 19.8 GB | Fits | 15 tok/s | 0.4 s | Projected |
| Q8_0 | 29.6 GB | Partial offload | 5.4 tok/s | 1.3 s | Projected |
| FP16 | 55.7 GB | Doesn't fit | Won't run | — | — |
