Frequently Asked Questions (Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E (400B MoE) + NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB)
Can NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB (16GB) run Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E (400B MoE) locally?
No — A single NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB (16GB) cannot fit Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E (400B MoE) in VRAM. Even in 4-bit Q4_K_M, Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E (400B MoE) requires 251.93 GB VRAM (16x NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GPUs needed for full VRAM execution, or heavy CPU RAM offloading at ~2.2 tok/s).
How is KV Cache calculated for Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E (400B MoE)?
Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E (400B MoE) uses MoE-GQA with 48 transformer layers, 40 attention heads, and 8 KV heads (head dimension 128). At 8,192 tokens in FP16, KV cache consumes 1.5 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 0.75 GB.
