Strengths
- Low VRAM requirement (1.6 GB) — runs on most consumer GPUs
- Adequate 33K context window for most applications
- High-precision quantization (FP16 — 16-bit) — near-lossless quality
- Compact size — fast inference speeds even on modest hardware
Limitations
- Modest quality score (42/100) — may struggle with complex reasoning
- Higher precision = larger VRAM requirement and slower inference
- Smaller parameter count limits performance on complex tasks
