Notes
Q3_K_M
RDNA 4 card with improving ROCm support; Vulkan remains the safer default in llama.cpp. Q3_K_M needs ~50.0GB and relies on offloading on this card. MoE models still have to load the full expert pool into memory.
About Llama 4 Scout
Llama 4 Scout (109B) is a chat, reasoning, multi-purpose model. Large MoE model (~109B total, ~17B active per token; 16 experts, 2 active). Multimodal (text and image) with an enormous advertised context window (10M tokens); practical local runs are usually capped by VRAM and tooling far below that. MoE loads the full weight set for common local inference paths. Not a consumer GPU model: even Q4_K_M needs ~60GB VRAM. Expect H100-class or dual A100 hardware for practical deployment. Do not recommend to RTX 4090 or Mac users.
