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.

FAQ

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

At Q4_K_M, Ling 3.0 Flash VL needs ~92GB 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.

Q4_K_M (78.7GB download) is the size/quality sweet spot of the 10 quants available. Total memory needed is ~92GB once the KV cache and runtime are counted — the download size alone understates it.
