Images models that run on 96 GB

120 models with published weights that fit in 96 GB — a MacBook Pro with 96. Counted at four-bit quantisation, weights only, leaving the machine about a third of its memory and a gigabyte for context: room for roughly 102 billion parameters. A mixture of experts is counted in full, because it is held in full even though only a few experts compute. 120 in all, a hundred to a page; this is page 1 of 2.

An Apple configuration for people who intend to run models rather than occasionally try one. Comfortably holds the seventy-billion class with a very long context, or a mixture-of-experts model whose active parameters are few but whose weights are all resident.

Models that make pictures from a description, and increasingly edit the ones you give them. Priced per image, sometimes by resolution, so the rate card reads nothing like a language model's. Beyond the look of the output, the practical differences are whether it can render legible text, whether it will edit rather than regenerate, and what the licence says about selling what comes out.
