Frequently asked questions about command-r-plus
- How much VRAM do I need to run command-r-plus?
- At 4K context, the smallest published build of command-r-plus (Q4_0) needs roughly 79.3 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 command-r-plus without a dedicated GPU?
- Yes, but slowly. Without a GPU the model runs on the CPU using system RAM, which usually means a few tokens per second rather than dozens. You would need at least 79.3 GB of free RAM for the smallest build.
- How big is the command-r-plus download?
- The smallest published build is 55.2 GB. There are 9 builds in total, the largest being 193.4 GB. Leave some extra free disk space beyond the download itself.
- How do I run command-r-plus locally?
- Install Ollama, then run "ollama run command-r-plus:104b-q4_0" in a terminal. The weights download on first use and an interactive session opens.
