What the gemma-4-31B-it numbers mean

The fastest verified result on our board is 28.3 output tok/s on an CMP 170HX at NVFP4 with a 32768-token context. That is about 35.4 ms per generated token — 500 tokens takes roughly 17.7 seconds. Prompt processing on the same record runs at 967.9 tok/s, so a 2,000-token prompt is read in about 2.1 seconds. Peak VRAM was measured at 58.7 GB. Across the 4 records we hold for this model the range is 15.8–28.3 tok/s on 4 GPUs, because quantisation, context length and the engine build all move the number.

How much VRAM does gemma-4-31B-it need?

gemma-4-31B-it has 33.0B parameters. These estimates use the same formula as the VRAM calculator: weights, plus about 15% for a moderate-context KV cache and runtime overhead, plus a small engine floor.

QuantisationEstimated VRAMSmallest card that fits
Q4_K_M (4-bit)22.1 GB32 GB
Q8_0 (8-bit)41.1 GB64 GB
FP16 (16-bit)76.7 GB96 GB

Long contexts and large batches raise the real number — read the smallest card as "possible with a reduced context". Measured throughput is on the benchmark board.
