Memory · 3 precisionsHow much VRAM it needs
Weights plus 20% runtime overhead. For image generation models, activations also depend on resolution, clip length and batch size; the study's per-GPU estimates below give the practical configuration.
| Precision | Weights | Weights + headroom |
|---|---|---|
| BF16published checkpoint | 43 GB | 52 GB |
| FP8 / INT8estimated | 6 GB | 7 GB |
| INT4 / MXFP4estimated | 3 GB | 5 GB |
Smallest configuration per GPU · 110 GPUs · cheapest eligible on-demand offer per GPU count, every provider on fileWhat it costs to run, GPU by GPU
The fewest GPUs of one type whose total memory fits the model at short context, priced from the cheapest eligible on-demand offer for exactly that count (45-day window, newest reading per provider), with the next providers beside it. Monthly = 730 hours.
