Runs fully on

Green = the model's best quant fits fully in GPU/unified memory at 8K context. Tap a card for its full "what runs on it" page.

Context

Advertised 128k · no independent evidence yet

No independent long-context evidence has been graded for this model yet — the advertised window above is the maintainer's number, not a usable-context claim.

Capabilities (as declared by the maintainer): tool calling

Run it

Runtime completeness (IQ4_XS torrent): llama.cpp ✅ Ollama – vision sidecar –

  • Ollama — runs the GGUF directly; no Modelfile bundled
  • vision sidecar — not a vision model

Context / KV 8,192 tokens · FP16 set above the quant table

Generic commands (no rig set). GPU-offload values assume the model fits on your GPU — set your rig for values tuned to your hardware.

Start the server
llama-server -m Kimi-Dev-72B-IQ4_XS.gguf -c 8192 -ngl 999

Use llama-cli in place of llama-server for a one-shot prompt.

ollama run moonshotai-kimi-dev-72b

GGUF is not a first-class vLLM format.

vLLM GGUF support is experimental and single-file only; prefer safetensors/GPTQ/AWQ for production. If you must, pass the .gguf path to `vllm serve` with --load-format gguf on a recent vLLM.

transformers does not load GGUF weights.

GGUF weights run under llama.cpp, Ollama or LM Studio.

Load Kimi-Dev-72B-IQ4_XS.gguf, set the context length to 8192 tokens. Set GPU offload to Max (all layers).

MLX runs MLX-format weights only (Apple Silicon). This quant is a GGUF build.

GGUF weights run under llama.cpp, Ollama or LM Studio.
