Video models that run on 24 GB

27 models with published weights that fit in 24 GB — a 24 GB card, or a Mac with 24. Counted at four-bit quantisation, weights only, leaving the machine about a third of its memory and a gigabyte for context: room for roughly 24 billion parameters. A mixture of experts is counted in full, because it is held in full even though only a few experts compute.

A 24 GB graphics card or a Mac configured with 24. This is the first size where the well-regarded mid-weight models — the twenty-something billion parameter class — run comfortably, and where a local model starts to be a real alternative to an API for daily work rather than a demonstration.

Models that generate moving footage, most of them now with sound. Priced by the second of output, sometimes doubled for higher resolution, which makes this the most expensive thing in the catalogue to experiment with — a minute of 1080p can cost more than a million tokens of text. Check the maximum clip length and whether it will continue from an image you supply.
