What GPU do you need to run PLaMo 3 Translate 8B?

8.53B parameters (Hugging Face, accessed 2026-11-10). Q4_K_M GGUF: 5.28 GB (source). Architecture config (Hugging Face config.json; 32 layers, window_size 2048, sliding_window_pattern 8: llama.cpp plamo3 (load_swa_pattern(ml, 8), LLAMA_SWA_TYPE_STANDARD) makes layer il sliding-window unless il % 8 == 7, so 4 full-attention + 28 sliding-window layers; the official GGUF metadata says the same (sliding_window 2048, sliding_window_pattern 8). max_ctx is the model card's 32,768-token training limit for input and output combined (the context field), not config.json's max_position_embeddings 262,144): 4 global attention layers × 4 KV heads × 128 head dim, plus 28 sliding-window layers (2048-token window), so about 8 KB of FP16 KV cache per token of context (how we estimate context).

Translation model, not a general chat assistant: it takes text in one language and returns a translation, through its own translation prompt format. Dense model, one of four PLaMo 3 Translate sizes. Context is 32,768 tokens because the model card says training used at most 32,768 tokens of input and output combined and asks you to split anything longer; config.json allows 262,144 positions, which this page does not treat as usable.
