- 2.Run this in a terminal:
ollama run goliath:120b-q4_0 - 3.The weights download on first run, then an interactive prompt opens.
Frequently asked questions about goliath
- How much VRAM do I need to run goliath?
- At 4K context, the smallest published build of goliath (Q4_0) needs roughly 88.7 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 goliath 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 88.7 GB of free RAM for the smallest build.
- How big is the goliath download?
- The smallest published build is 61.8 GB. There are 6 builds in total, the largest being 219.3 GB. Leave some extra free disk space beyond the download itself.
- How do I run goliath locally?
- Install Ollama, then run "ollama run goliath:120b-q4_0" in a terminal. The weights download on first use and an interactive session opens.
