Peak VRAM for serving this model, computed by lib/deployment/hardware.ts from weights + KV cache + 15% runtime overhead. Inputs: 12.2B parameters, 8,192 tokens of context (assumed — none fetched yet), 4 concurrent requests (assumed).

  indicative on-demand rental, USD per hour, Aug 2026 — verify against the provider price list for your region

  The private-cloud counterpart of `onprem-small-24gb`: same model sizes, no capital outlay, and a region you choose explicitly. Running it continuously for a year usually costs more than buying the equivalent box, so it suits pilots, bursts and firms without a server room. The cloud provider becomes a data processor — a DPA and a documented region are required.

  Sizing basis

  • Weights: 12.2B parameters × 2 bytes per parameter (fp16) = 24.37 GB.
  • No model configuration was supplied, so the KV cache uses the size heuristic for this band: 0.197 MB per token, from Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct (48 × 8 × 128).
  • KV cache: 0.197 MB per token × 8,192 tokens of context × 4 concurrent requests = 6.44 GB, sized for every user holding a full context at once.
  • Overhead: 15% of weights plus KV cache for the runtime, activations and memory fragmentation = 4.62 GB.
  • GB means 10⁹ bytes, matching how GPU memory is advertised.
  • KV cache held at fp16 (2 bytes per element); quantising weights does not by itself quantise the cache.
  • Peak figure, not average: prefix caching and paged attention usually keep real usage lower, while speculative decoding, CUDA graphs and a second resident model push it higher.
  • "Concurrent" counts requests generated at the same instant, not people: 4 simultaneous requests is the worst case this estimate is built on — measure yours before buying.

  Indicative costUS$4,000 – US$9,000

  indicative build cost for the complete machine, USD, Aug 2026 — verify with a local supplier

  The default box for a 20–60 person firm. Fits a 14B model at 4-bit with roughly 8 GB of KV cache left for concurrent chat, or an 8B model at fp16. NVMe storage sized for the model cache plus a document corpus and its embeddings. Add a UPS and an offsite backup target — this machine holds the whole knowledge base.
