Can I run clef-flash?
Clef-Flash is a 9B multimodal model that turns a state and a schema of typed questions into decisions.
Parameter counts and memory belong to each build below. A family can contain several sizes and tasks; fitting in memory is not a quality ranking.
Calculate memory for a build and contextclef-flash system requirements
Memory needed at 4K context, counting model weights, KV cache, compute buffers and runtime overhead. Download sizes come from the official Ollama registry.

Figures marked (est.) use the fallback KV estimate because this build's architecture is missing from our catalog. All totals are estimates, including runtime buffers.
Showing the 1 smallest non-alias builds. Choose any build and change the context. A context above the build's documented maximum is a hypothetical calculation, not a supported setting.
How to run clef-flash locally
- 1.Install Ollama for Windows, macOS or Linux.
- 2.Download this exact build in a terminal:
ollama pull clef-flash:9b - 3.Check the source for the build's task. For text generation, run
ollama run clef-flash:9b. Base/text builds may need a prompt template; an instruct build is usually the appropriate starting point for a conversation.
Frequently asked questions about clef-flash
- How much VRAM do I need to run clef-flash?
- At 4K context, the smallest published build of clef-flash (Q8_0) needs roughly 13.7 GB of GPU memory once weights, KV cache, compute buffers and runtime overhead are counted. Bigger quantizations and longer context windows need more. It can also run partly or entirely on the CPU using system RAM, more slowly.
- Can I run clef-flash without a dedicated GPU?
- A supported CPU runtime can use system RAM. The smallest listed build needs an estimated 13.7 GB at 4K context, plus headroom for your operating system. Check the build's runtime requirements. We have not measured its speed on your CPU.
- How big is the clef-flash download?
- The smallest published build is 10.2 GB. Leave some extra free disk space beyond the download itself.
- How do I run clef-flash locally?
- Install Ollama, then download a specific build with "ollama pull clef-flash:9b". For a build that supports text generation, use ollama run with the same tag. Check the model source for its task and prompt format.
