FAQ & Reference

Frequently Asked Questions: Meta Muse Spark Open (816B-A42B MoE) on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (12GB GDDR7)

How much VRAM does Meta Muse Spark Open (816B-A42B MoE) need on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (12GB GDDR7)?

At standard 4-bit quantization (Q4_K_M) with 32K context, Meta Muse Spark Open (816B-A42B MoE) requires 512.86 GB of total VRAM (weights + KV cache + CUDA runtime overhead).

What inference speed will Meta Muse Spark Open (816B-A42B MoE) achieve on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (12GB GDDR7)?

Based on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (12GB GDDR7)'s 672 GB/s memory bandwidth, expected decode speed is approximately 0 tokens per second.

Can I expand context beyond 32K tokens?

Each additional 32K tokens of context requires additional KV cache memory. For longer context windows, consider 8-bit or 4-bit KV cache quantization.
