Can I run North Mini Code 1.0 on Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 (24GB)?

Compatibility verdict VRAM threshold engine
Yes, but tight GPU accelerated

Yes. North Mini Code 1.0 runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 (24GB) at Q4_K_M (~21.1 GB of ~23 GB usable).

Needs ~21.1 GB Device usable ~23 GB

Fits at Q4_K_M (~21.1 GB of ~23 GB usable) but with little headroom. Close other apps; a smaller context frees a few hundred MB.

That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 (24GB) leaves ~1.9 GB of headroom.

FAQ

Can Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 (24GB) run North Mini Code 1.0?

Yes. North Mini Code 1.0 runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 (24GB) at Q4_K_M (~21.1 GB of ~23 GB usable).

How much memory does North Mini Code 1.0 need?

It is a tight fit on Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 (24GB). At Q4_K_M the weights are ~19 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~21.1 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (30.5B total / 3B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.

What is the best tool to run North Mini Code 1.0 on Windows?

LM Studio for a simple setup; Ollama (CUDA) for the most speed. AMD GPUs run via Vulkan/ROCm at roughly half CUDA throughput. NVIDIA is the smooth path on Windows.

Sources

Weights are measured from GGUF files; KV cache and overhead are computed, so totals can vary ~15% with context and runtime. Any tok/s is a bandwidth estimate. See methodology.
