FLUX.1 dev (12B) needs 10GB VRAM at Q4 vs your 12GB VRAM. Estimated ~25–34 tok/s. Model context 0k. Compare with all models or re-check with your exact specs on the bench.
Unload with ollama stop, cap layers --num-gpu 28, cut context to 2k. See the OOM fixer on the homepage.
Start Q4. Bigger model at Q4 beats smaller at Q8. Only go Q8 if 2GB+ headroom remains.
About ~25–34 tok/s when 100% on GPU. Any CPU offload drops speed 5–20× — check ollama ps.
