The largest size, of those that keep three bits a weight or more, whose memory at an 8K chat is under 92% of the card's; the rest is the desktop's. Estimated from the files, the same way as for a Mac; speed on a PC is not estimated yet. A size that doesn't fit the card still runs, slower, with part of it in ordinary memory.

Writes and reads are words a second (a token is about three quarters of a word), 4K tokens into a chat, estimated unless marked measured. The size is the one the store offers that Mac. Constants fitted October 11, 2026; how, and how wrong.
Badge for the model card
Shows on Devstral Small 2 24B's Hugging Face card which Macs run it well, linked to this page. It updates every morning.
Sizes and files are read from unsloth/Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512-GGUF on Hugging Face and checked every morning. LM Arena has not rated this model, so the rating is Outmake's estimate from its size and release date; how the estimate is made. Catalog of November 4, 2026.
