    I’m afraid to even ask for the minimum specs on this thing, open source models have gotten so big lately

      Every billion parameters needs about 2 GB of VRAM - if using bfloat16 representation. 16 bits per parameter, 8 bits per byte -> 2 bytes per parameter.

      1 billion parameters ~ 2 Billion bytes ~ 2 GB.

      From the name, this model has 72 Billion parameters, so ~144 GB of VRAM
