Video models that run on 256 GB
28 models with published weights that fit in 256 GB — a Mac Studio with 256. Counted at four-bit quantisation, weights only, leaving the machine about a third of its memory and a gigabyte for context: room for roughly 274 billion parameters. A mixture of experts is counted in full, because it is held in full even though only a few experts compute.
A Mac Studio at the top of its configuration, or a serious machine. Almost everything openly published fits, including the large mixtures of experts. At this point the constraint is no longer whether the model loads but whether it generates fast enough to be worth waiting for.
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.
