## Load (vLLM)

```bash
vllm serve drawais/Granite-3.0-8B-Instruct-AWQ-INT4 \
  --max-model-len 32768 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.94
```

```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
llm = LLM(model="drawais/Granite-3.0-8B-Instruct-AWQ-INT4", max_model_len=32768)
print(llm.generate(["Hello!"], SamplingParams(max_tokens=128))[0].outputs[0].text)
```

## Footprint

~4.5 GB on disk. Recommended VRAM: enough headroom for KV cache.
