Can Desktop PC · GeForce RTX 5080 · 32 GB RAM run Reflection Beam (501B-A23B)?
16 GB VRAM + 32 GB RAM · 960 GB/s memory bandwidth · Reflection Beam (501B-A23B) has 501B parameters (23B active per token).
Short answer
No. This combination isn't supported.
Reflection Beam (501B-A23B) is not published in a format llama.cpp (llama-server) can load (GGUF).
The same applies to every workload we rate (chat, coding questions, coding in a repository, agentic coding and long documents): they all need at least as much memory as chat.
