Run Gemma 2B INSTRUCT · F16 on your own GPU

Gemma 2B INSTRUCT · F16 is a small & fast catalog model (3B) managed with Ollama. Catalog memory is estimated at 7 GB with F16 for a short context (4–8K tokens). Validate output quality and memory use with your workload on your hardware.

Deploy the catalog Ollama tag on your machine and verify the pulled model's quantization. Once deployed, gpuos serves it as gemma-2b-instruct-fp16 through the hosted gpuos gateway, with API keys, optional token quotas and usage metering. Request and response payloads pass through that gateway.

Compare GPU memory for Gemma 2B INSTRUCT · F16

Catalog estimate at F16, not a measured benchmark. Chat estimates assume a short context; embedding memory depends on input and batch size. The comparison includes a 5% screening margin; it does not establish runtime performance. More in how much VRAM an LLM needs.
