Self-hosting Nanbeige4.3-33B on 24GB GPU: weight optimization and bug fixes

The Nanbeige4.3-33B, an open-source agent coding model, can be run on a single 24 GB GPU by carefully managing model weights and the "thinking mode." Running the dense 33 billion parameter model requires fitting its weights entirely within the GPU's VRAM to maintain speed, as offloading to slower system RAM significantly degrades performance. Developers have found that using a 3-bit quantized weight file (around 14.7 GB) on a 16 GB GPU achieves optimal speeds of over 13 tokens per second, while a 2-bit file is too imprecise for coding tasks. A bug related to the chat template can cause responses to appear in the "reasoning" field instead of the "content" field, which can be mitigated by disabling thinking mode or adjusting chat template arguments.

    Running a dense 33B agent model on one 24 GB GPU: the offload trap and the empty reply

    <p>To self-host Nanbeige4.3-33B, the Apache-2.0 agent coding model the Nanbeige team (BOSS Zhipin) released on 24 October, two decisions matter most. First, which compressed copy of the weights you load for your card. Second, how you handle thinking mode, where the model reasons …
