What is documented about MetaEncoder-30B
news checked 2026-10-27Instruction-following multimodal encoder (text, images, video; vLLM path text+image only), contrastively fine-tuned from meta-models/Muse-Glimmer-30B. arXiv 2610.11316. Low traction so far. Date = HF repo creation.

Memory · 3 precisionsHow much VRAM it needs
Weights plus runtime overhead. The context dimension appears once the model's architecture is on file.
| Precision | Weights | Weights + headroom |
|---|---|---|
| BF16published checkpoint | 60 GB | 72 GB |
| FP8 / INT8estimated | 30 GB | 36 GB |
| INT4 / MXFP4estimated | 18 GB | 22 GB |
Cross-checked on Hugging Face Oct 28, 2026: 29.8B parameters in the safetensors headers, 59.5 GB of weight files. Method: weights as published at the native precision, verified on Hugging Face 2026-10-28; other precisions estimated at 1 (8-bit) and 0.6 (4-bit) bytes per parameter; × 1.2 runtime headroom; KV cache not added (architecture not readable).
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.
