Can the UP Squared Pro 7000 (8 GB) run d1 3B?

79Great quality (A) · 79 of 100: how capable the model is at Q5_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 80/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, but slowly

Slow. At Q5_K_M it needs about 3.2 GB of 4.0 GB usable and makes one decision in about 1.2 s.

Best app to run it on the UP Squared Pro 7000 (8 GB)

On Windows

Sentence Transformers

Python library · runs on PyTorch (Transformers)

  • Can only use the CPU on this hardware, so it will be slow.
  • A few lines of Python with Transformers or Sentence Transformers; easiest for scripts and notebooks.
python -c "from transformers import pipeline; print(pipeline('text-classification', model='LiquidAI/d1-3B')('text'))"

How it’s rated

Quality 79Great quality (A) · 79 of 100: how capable the model is at Q5_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 80/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q5_K_M, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Slow
How well it runs on the UP Squared Pro 7000 (8 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.35.8 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of unified memory the GPU can use; fewer when it goes past that limit.25.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.4.3 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.15.0 / 15
Match score80.0 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Quick answers

How much memory does d1 3B need on the UP Squared Pro 7000 8GB?

At Q5_K_M it needs about 3.2 GB. The UP Squared Pro 7000 8GB has 4.0 GB usable.

How fast is d1 3B on the UP Squared Pro 7000 8GB?

It makes one decision in about 1.2 s at Q5_K_M, an estimate from the hardware and the size of the model.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
