Muse Spark Open hardware requirements and cost
Even at 4-bit it needs about 563 GB (4× H200 (564 GB)), well beyond a home workstation, so most people run it on rented multi-GPU servers. Full BF16 precision needs about 1.9 TB (Multiple nodes (over 1.1 TB)).
| Precision | Weights | With headroom | Smallest setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| BF16 (full precision) | 1.6 TB | 1.9 TB | Multiple nodes (over 1.1 TB) |
| FP8 / 8-bit | 816 GB | 938 GB | 8× H200 (1,128 GB) |
| 4-bit (GGUF Q4_K_M) | 490 GB | 563 GB | 4× H200 (564 GB) |
Estimate: parameters × bytes per parameter, plus 15% for the KV cache and runtime at modest context lengths. Long contexts and large batches need more.
