Model Size: 104B parameters (approximately 194GB in FP16)
Context Length: 128K tokens

Issue Description:
We are trying to run the CohereLabs/c4ai-command-r-plus model locally but encountering memory limitations. The model requires approximately 194GB of memory, but our current VPS has only 31GB RAM and 16GB GPU VRAM, which is insufficient.
Technical Requirements:
Based on the model specifications from the Hugging Face page:
Model Size: 104B parameters = ~194GB in FP16
Memory Requirements: 200GB+ total memory needed
GPU Requirements: 32GB+ VRAM recommended for optimal performance
Storage: 500GB+ for model files and swap space
Questions:
What is the minimum VPS configuration that can run this model?
What is the recommended VPS configuration for optimal performance?
Are there any VPS providers that offer configurations suitable for 200GB+ memory?
What are the cost estimates for such configurations?
Are there any alternatives like model quantization or cloud solutions?
Thank you
