Downloads & memory by quant

The download is only the weights — add KV cache and runtime to get what your phone actually needs. “Memory-fit” only means it can load; “usable” also requires an estimated 3+ tokens/s. Each row uses that row's quant. ★ = recommended.

How much RAM do I need to run Ling 3.0 Flash on a phone?

At Q4_K_M, Ling 3.0 Flash needs ~82.3GB of usable memory (weights + KV cache + runtime). In practice that means no current Android phone or no current iPhone — iOS lets a single app use less of its RAM than Android does.
