Model weights are only part of VRAM usage; during inference, space must also be reserved for activations, KV cache, context window, and so on.

UnverifiedThe VRAM occupied by the context window is calculated separately from the model weights, and KV cache VRAM usage grows linearly with context length.79% similarUnverifiedDuring inference, model weights are frozen, and the model is merely managing context rather than converting present experience into persistent model knowledge.75% similarUnverifiedTraditional dense models use all parameters for every inference, so the complete weights must reside in memory or VRAM, otherwise every step of computation triggers a disk read.73% similarVerifiedModels with more parameters can generally think through details more thoroughly, while smaller models are more prone to overlooking details in complex tasks.73% similarUnverified强制简洁的输出约束有时反而能提升模型的推理专注度73% similar
