Total parameters × bits ÷ 8 determines model bytes on disk.
CPU-FIRST INFERENCE ENVELOPE
Fitting the model is not feeding the model.
Every value below is a hypothetical system assumption. This is an analytical envelope, not a Colibri benchmark.

Run the sample to separate memory fit from storage throughput.
Disk stores capacity. Bandwidth serves tokens.
Dense weights, active experts, KV cache, and runtime buffers determine working RAM.
Active expert bytes × cache misses × token rate determines required storage bandwidth.
