The 'OLMo of coding' — fully transparent training pipeline with HumanEval 83.5%. Every component is open: weights, data, and methodology. The most trustworthy small coding model for compliance-sensitive teams.
This model requires a specialized High-VRAM environment. Ensure you have the latest CUDA Drivers or Metal Framework installed.
Minimum VRAM: 7GB VRAM Recommended
The OpenCoder-8B model by Infly is a 8B dense parameter architecture optimized for code tasks. It requires approximately 5GB of VRAM to comfortably run locally using a Q4_K_M quantization. Extending the context window up to 8,192 tokens will dynamically allocate further VRAM, meaning high-bandwidth memory hardware is strictly advised.
For running OpenCoder-8B at maximum tokens-per-second, we recommend using LM Studio or Ollama with a GGUF quantization (Q4_K_M or Q6_K). If you are multi-GPU, use vLLM to distribute the layers across your VRAM pool for optimal throughput.
You will need a GPU with at least 7GB of VRAM to run the Q4_K_M quantized version smoothly with a moderate context window.
The simplest method is utilizing Ollama by executing 'ollama run opencoder:8b' directly in your command line. Alternatively, you can search for the model via LM Studio's interface.
