No. Even at Q4_K_M, Devstral Small 24B needs about 16.2 GB, but the NVIDIA RTX 5060 has 8 GB usable. You could offload some layers to system RAM, but it will be very slow.

Run it on a rented GPU

On a cloud GPU with enough memory, the same command you'd use locally works:

ollama run devstral:24b

At Q4_K_M it needs about 16.2 GB, so pick a GPU with at least 24 GB.

Frequently asked questions

Can NVIDIA RTX 5060 run Devstral Small 24B?

No. Even at Q4_K_M, Devstral Small 24B needs about 16.2 GB, but the NVIDIA RTX 5060 has 8 GB usable. You could offload some layers to system RAM, but it will be very slow.

How much VRAM does Devstral Small 24B need?

About 16.2 GB at Q4_K_M with 8,192 tokens of context, and about 49.1 GB at full FP16 precision.

How fast is Devstral Small 24B on the NVIDIA RTX 5060?

It does not fit in the NVIDIA RTX 5060's memory, so most layers would run from system RAM and generation would be very slow.
