Video models that run on 36 GB

28 models with published weights that fit in 36 GB — a MacBook Pro with 36. Counted at four-bit quantisation, weights only, leaving the machine about a third of its memory and a gigabyte for context: room for roughly 37 billion parameters. A mixture of experts is counted in full, because it is held in full even though only a few experts compute.

An Apple configuration, and a comfortable one: it holds what 32 GB holds without the machine feeling tight, which in practice means a longer context or a browser you do not have to close first.

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.
