Without context, it should be number of params * 1.76 (the “effective bits per weight”) / 8
So for this one, 27B * 1.76 / 8 = 5.94 GB
For speed, far as I can tell it depends if your gpu is memory bandwidth bound or (mostly older gpus) processing bound. If it’s memory bandwidth bound, and your gpu gets 300GB/s, that’s:
300GB/s / 5.98 GB = 50.5t/s.
Realistically it’s probably a bit slower, but that is your theoretical maximum.
