How to Deploy Hy4 preview Locally

Hy4 preview is a MoE model with 770B total parameters and 49B active per token. At Q4 it needs 431GB of VRAM to sit entirely on the GPU; with experts offloaded to system RAM it needs only 18GB of VRAM plus 415GB of RAM. The cheapest device that holds it is the Mac Studio M3 Ultra 512GB, with no used-price data yet, at roughly 15 tokens/s. In offload mode the cheapest card that runs it is the Radeon RX 7900 XT, at roughly 3 tokens/s.

How much VRAM does Hy4 preview need for local deployment?

MoE: all 770B parameters must stay resident in memory, while speed is set by the 49B active per token.

Total = weights + KV cache (FP16) + 1GB runtime overhead. Weights marked GGUF are measured file sizes from the repository; the rest are estimated from bytes per parameter. Contexts beyond this model's 1M limit show a dash. Each tier takes whichever file of that bit width the repository has, preferring unsloth dynamic quants, so the exact file name varies by model.

Fits when weights + KV cache + runtime overhead is at or below usable memory, single card. "Offload" on MoE models means it runs with expert weights in system RAM (only attention layers and KV cache stay in VRAM); that speed assumes 70 GB/s RAM bandwidth. The context column is the largest tier that fits.

Recommended GPUs for Hy4 preview with CPU/GPU offloading

Expert weights live in system RAM (needs at least 415 GB); VRAM holds only attention layers, shared experts and the KV cache, at least 18 GB at Q4. Speed is bound by RAM bandwidth (estimated at 70 GB/s) and is far slower than a full-VRAM setup.
