muse-glimmer 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.
| Build | Quantization | Download | Memory needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| muse-glimmer:30b | Q4_K_M | 16.9 GB | ~22.7 GB(est.) |
| muse-glimmer:30b-q8_0 | Q8_0 | 28.9 GB | ~39.8 GB(est.) |
Figures marked (est.) approximate the KV cache because this model's architecture details are not published. They are indicative rather than exact.
How to run muse-glimmer locally

Frequently asked questions about muse-glimmer
- How much VRAM do I need to run muse-glimmer?
- At 4K context, the smallest published build of muse-glimmer (Q4_K_M) needs roughly 22.7 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 muse-glimmer 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 22.7 GB of free RAM for the smallest build.
- How big is the muse-glimmer download?
- The smallest published build is 16.9 GB. There are 2 builds in total, the largest being 28.9 GB. Leave some extra free disk space beyond the download itself.
- How do I run muse-glimmer locally?
- Install Ollama, then run "ollama run muse-glimmer:30b" in a terminal. The weights download on first use and an interactive session opens.
