Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB run Intern-Decision 4B?

84Great quality (A) · 84 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8_0, whatever it runs on. Match score 89/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, it runs well

Runs well. At Q8_0 it needs about 6.1 GB of 12.0 GB usable and makes one decision in about 151 ms.

How it’s rated

Quality 84Great quality (A) · 84 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8_0, whatever it runs on. Match score 89/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q8_0, 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 Runs well
How well it runs on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB: 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.37.8 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.25.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.12.2 / 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

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 Intern-Decision 4B need on the RTX 3060 12GB?

At Q8_0 it needs about 6.1 GB. The RTX 3060 12GB has 12.0 GB usable.

How fast is Intern-Decision 4B on the RTX 3060 12GB?

It makes one decision in about 151 ms at Q8_0, 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.
