Agentic coding · Free plan

Run Granite Code 8B · Q4_0 on your own GPU

Granite Code 8B · Q4_0 is a agentic coding catalog model (8.1B) managed with Ollama. Catalog memory is estimated at 7 GB with Q4_0 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 granite-code-8b 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 Granite Code 8B · Q4_0

Catalog estimate at Q4_0, 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.

Questions

How much VRAM does Granite Code 8B · Q4_0 need?
The catalog estimate is 7 GB at Q4_0 for a short context (4–8K tokens). The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB clears this estimate with screening headroom in the comparison list. This is a planning estimate, not a tested hardware requirement. Validate context length, batch size and concurrent requests on your node.
Can I use Granite Code 8B · Q4_0 commercially?
Yes. Granite Code 8B · Q4_0 is released under the Apache 2.0 license, which allows commercial use.
Is Granite Code 8B · Q4_0 compatible with the OpenAI API?
Through gpuos, Granite Code 8B · Q4_0 uses the supported /v1/chat/completions endpoint with the model id "granite-code-8b". Configure your OpenAI-compatible client with the gpuos base URL and API key. Check model-specific features and any other API operations your app needs before switching.
Which gpuos plan includes Granite Code 8B · Q4_0?
Granite Code 8B · Q4_0 is in the base catalog, available on the free Community plan (1 node, 1 GPU).
