Video models that run on 32 GB

28 models with published weights that fit in 32 GB — a well-specified laptop. Counted at four-bit quantisation, weights only, leaving the machine about a third of its memory and a gigabyte for context: room for roughly 33 billion parameters. A mixture of experts is counted in full, because it is held in full even though only a few experts compute.

Enough for a thirty-billion-parameter model at four-bit with a long context, or a smaller one at higher precision if quality matters more than size. A practical ceiling for a laptop that also has to be a laptop.

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.
