A single 24GB GPU can now run a 35B scientific research agent that spawns sub-agents and checks its own evidence.
Sage-A1.5 is 35B / ~3B active, and its official Q4_K_M is just 21.7GB.
Here are the new Sage-A1.5 model stats
đ§ 35B MoE / ~3B active
đž official Q4_K_M â 21.7GB
đŽ fits a single 24GB GPU at moderate context
đ 256K native context
đī¸ multimodal
đ Apache 2.0
And it's specifically trained as a long-horizon research agent.
So it is designed to
đ use tools/search/code
đ¤ spawn parallel sub-agents
â inspect its own evidence
đ change direction when research stalls
No separate critic model required for its verification mode.
These are the full-precision benchmark results

Sage-A1.5 â 90.0
Kimi K3 â 88.2
GLM-5.3 â 86.6
GPT-5.6 Sol â 87.3

Sage â 81.0
Kimi â 69.0
GLM â 67.0

â ī¸ Those benchmark scores are from the BF16 checkpoint, not the Q4.
But the same model now has an official 21.7GB GGUF with llama.cpp / Ollama / LM Studio support.
