How to run Droplet3D-5B
- 01
Rent a GPU
Pick one of the GPUs above. Billing is per second; stop the machine and you stop paying.
- 02
Open a terminal or Jupyter
Connect over SSH or open Jupyter in your browser. PyTorch and CUDA are ready to use.
- 03
Download and run the model
Run the commands below. The weights download straight from Hugging Face to your machine.
This model is gated: accept its license on Hugging Face and run huggingface-cli login before downloading.
pip install -U diffusers transformers accelerate
huggingface-cli download DropletX/Droplet3D-5B --local-dir ./model
python -c "import torch; from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline; p = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained('./model', torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).to('cuda'); print(p)"Why run it yourself?
Animating images on hosted services burns credits fast. A rented GPU has no credit limit: you pay per second and can try as many variations as you need.
Questions
- How much GPU memory does Droplet3D-5B need?
- By our estimate about 15 GB for inference (5.6B parameters). Higher resolution, longer context or bigger batches need more.
- How much does it cost to run Droplet3D-5B?
- From $0.19 per hour on RTX A4000, billed per second. Ten hours cost about $1.90.
- Do I need a subscription?
- No. You pay only for the time your machine runs, from your USD balance. Stop it whenever you are done.
