Run MiniMax-M2.5-MLX-8bit on a cloud GPU
MiniMax-M2.5-MLX-8bit is a Language models (LLM) model by lmstudio-community. See how much GPU memory it needs, which GPUs it fits on today and what it costs to run it yourself, billed per second.
GPUs it fits on today
Our estimate is about 550 GB for inference with U32 weights, including working memory. Real use depends on resolution, batch size and context length. With 4-bit quantization it needs about 166 GB.
