Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

The extremes

The ten fastest GPUs that run YAYI-13B-Llama2

Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.

The smallest GPUs that still run YAYI-13B-Llama2

The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.

What the numbers mean

What you need to run it

Minimum card

GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

Memory needed

9.4 GB

Fastest

261 tok/s

YAYI-13B-Llama2 reaches a parameter count of 13B. That is small enough that hardware is rarely the obstacle, including on cards several years old. The number of cards we track that can run it: 295.

The least hardware that works is GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, with a memory capacity of 11 GB, running it at a compression of Q3_K_M and producing around 36.2 tokens per second.

The quickest result comes from B200, generating roughly 261 tokens per second on the strength of a memory bandwidth of 8,000 GB/s.

Background

YAYI-13B-Llama2 was published by Yayi (Wenge), in the country recorded as China, during July 2023. It comes out of an organisation categorised as industry.

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of language modeling/generation.

Rather than being trained from scratch, it is derived from Llama 2-13B. That is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

The weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware indefinitely, offline, with no account attached. On Hugging Face it is published under the organisation wenge-research.

Reading the throughput figures

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range sits at 24.2 tokens per second. Exceeding reading speed outright: 258 of them.

Being dense, it reads all of itself per token, which is why the ordering by speed below follows the ordering by memory bandwidth so closely.

Because the architecture is recorded, the memory column is derived rather than estimated.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for YAYI-13B-Llama2

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

01

Start from the memory column

The table lists every card able to hold YAYI-13B-Llama2, needing around 9.4 GB at a compression of Q3_K_M. Capacity is the gate — a card either holds it or it does not.
02

Set the context length you will work at

Longer conversations cost memory on top of what the weights need. Move the slider to your real working length before trusting any row for YAYI-13B-Llama2.
03

Choose how far you will compress it

Each card runs the least-compressed copy it can hold, reaching a compression of Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. Setting a minimum quality drops the cards that only manage it by squeezing further than you would want, and holds the comparison at one level.
04

Sort by speed

The speed ordering is effectively an ordering by memory bandwidth, for YAYI-13B-Llama2. It will not match a gaming ordering, because generation is bound by memory bandwidth. The card topping the list is B200, at 261 tok/s.
05

Read the fit column last

A tight fit runs, but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation, in the case of YAYI-13B-Llama2. Comfortable means you can grow the context later. That difference matters more than a few tokens per second, so buy for comfortable if you expect to.
06

Open the card you have settled on

Each card page repeats this sweep for every model we hold, answering what else the hardware is good for beyond YAYI-13B-Llama2.

Answers

YAYI-13B-Llama2 — common questions

YAYI-13B-Llama2— who created it?

It was published by Yayi (Wenge), based in China, an organisation categorised as industry.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— when was it released?

It was published in July 2023. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling/generation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— where can I download it?

Its weights are published on Hugging Face, under the organisation wenge-research. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— can I run it if it does not fit in my GPU?

It can be split between the card and system memory, but it generates painfully slowly that way. The nearest miss we calculate falls short by 1.9 GB. Every figure here assumes the whole model is resident on the card.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— would two GPUs run it faster?

Capacity adds across cards; throughput does not. The number of cards already holding it on their own: 295. So a second card is rarely the answer here.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— why does the quantisation differ between cards?

Because capacity varies, so does how hard it has to be squeezed. The number of distinct levels in the table above: 4. Bigger cards get the more accurate version, and the quality floor above pins the comparison to one level.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— how accurate are these speed estimates?

They are calculated from specifications rather than measured, and each carries a range. One example: 222–313 tok/s on B200. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— what GPU do I need to run it?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds it is GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, with a memory capacity of 11 GB. It runs the model at a compression of Q3_K_M using about 9.4 GB, and produces roughly 36.2 tokens per second. The number of cards able to run it in total: 295.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— how fast is it on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is B200, at about 261 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and the number of cards clearing that: 258.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— how much VRAM does it need?

It needs about 9.4 GB at a compression of Q3_K_M, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— can I run it on a GPU holding 12 GB?

Yes. The card GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, holding 12 GB, runs it at a compression of IQ4_XS, using about 10.1 GB and generating roughly 73.0 tokens per second. The fit is tight.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— can I run it on a GPU holding 16 GB?

Yes. The card Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB, holding 16 GB, runs it at a compression of Q6_K, using about 13.9 GB and generating roughly 53.5 tokens per second. The fit is tight.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— can I run it on a GPU holding 24 GB?

Yes. The card GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, holding 24 GB, runs it at a compression of Q8_0, using about 16.9 GB and generating roughly 43.7 tokens per second. The fit is comfortable.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— is it open source?

Its weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

YAYI-13B-Llama2— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 13B. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.
