Why other calculators give a different number
A parameters × bits ÷ 8 estimate puts Q4_K_M at roughly 4.91 GiB. The real file is 4.68 GiB, because a quantization is a mixture and some tensors are always kept at higher precision.

Questions people ask
- How much VRAM does MiniCPM-o-4_5 need?
- Q4_K_M is exactly 5,026,714,400 bytes (4.68 GiB) in weights. Add the KV cache, which depends on your context length, plus roughly half a gigabyte of runtime overhead.
- How large is MiniCPM-o-4_5's KV cache?
- 4.50 GiB at 32K context with an f16 cache, computed per layer. Quantizing the cache to q8_0 roughly halves it, which is often the difference between a context length fitting and not.
- Which quantization of MiniCPM-o-4_5 should I use?
- Q4_K_M is the usual default. Pick the largest quantization that fits your card at the context you actually need — the table above gives exact sizes for every one published.
