Frequently Asked Questions (Cohere Command-A 111B + NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB)
Can NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB (16GB) run Cohere Command-A 111B locally?
No — A single NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB (16GB) cannot fit Cohere Command-A 111B in VRAM. Even in 4-bit Q4_K_M, Cohere Command-A 111B requires 71.99 GB VRAM (5x NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GPUs needed for full VRAM execution, or heavy CPU RAM offloading at ~1.2 tok/s).
How is KV Cache calculated for Cohere Command-A 111B?
Cohere Command-A 111B uses Dense-GQA with 64 transformer layers, 96 attention heads, and 8 KV heads (head dimension 128). At 8,192 tokens in FP16, KV cache consumes 2 GB. Enabling 8-bit KV cache (-ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0 in llama.cpp or --kv-cache-dtype fp8 in vLLM) cuts this in half to 1.00 GB.
