Readme

Devstral Small 2 – 24B (Q4_K_S)

This is a quantized version (Q4_K_S) of the original:

Devstral Small 2 – 24B Instruct (FP16)


Overview

  • Base model: Devstral Small 2 – 24B Instruct (FP16)
  • Quantization: Q4_K_S
  • License: Apache 2.0
  • Format: Ollama model
  • Type: Inference-optimized snapshot

Purpose

This model was created to:

  • Reduce memory usage compared to FP16
  • Improve inference speed on consumer GPUs
  • Enable running a 24B model on more modest hardware
  • Preserve a stable snapshot of the original model

Performance / Size

  • Model footprint: ~14 GB (Q4_K_S)
  • VRAM usage increases with context length due to KV cache
  • Suitable for GPU inference on mid-to-high range consumer hardware

Hardware Notes (estimated)

  • 16 GB VRAM GPU:

    • Stable at ~2K context length in typical setups
  • ~20 GB VRAM GPU (not fully tested):

    • Likely supports ~4K–6K context depending on backend and KV cache settings

Trade-offs

Compared to FP16:

  • ✔ Lower VRAM usage
  • ✔ Faster inference
  • ❌ Slight reduction in output quality and precision

Usage

Run locally:

ollama run LoPld/devstral-small-2-24b-instruct-2512-q4_K_S

Reproducibility

Created from:

FROM devstral-small-2:24b-instruct-2512-fp16

Quantized using:

ollama create <model> --quantize q4_K_S -f Modelfile

License

Original model: Apache 2.0 This quantized version inherits the same license terms.


Notes

  • This is a frozen snapshot of the original model
  • No upstream updates are expected for this version
  • Intended for long-term local use and reproducibility
