Official card: 320B total / 18B active. 11 of 45 layers are sparse attention (MLA, kv_lora_rank 512, K-only cache) and grow the context store plus an 11×384 indexer (raw + 2 pooled rows). 34 linear (KDA) layers hold a fixed state. max_position_embeddings 1,048,576. 288 routed experts + 1 shared, 8 per token. Consumer cards offload; both RAM lines are estimates until measured.
Q6, Q5, and Q4 sizes are cited from the GGUF repo listing. Q3 is a labeled estimate.
GB here is the publisher’s decimal listing, not measured VRAM. Q1 and Q2 stay off.

System RAM
Kit sizes are real DIMM steps. Measured peaks come from run cards when we have them; otherwise the line is an estimate.
Wherever RAM offload appears, both shopper labels stay on the page.
