How much VRAM do you need to run LensVLM 9B?
With an estimated 9.4B parameters, LensVLM 9B needs roughly 11 GB of VRAM in 8-bit (INT8), 5 GB in 4-bit, and 21 GB in FP16, including a 20% overhead for activations and KV cache.
Which GPUs can run LensVLM 9B?
At 8-bit quantization, the most cost-effective option is 1x NVIDIA T4 (16 GB combined VRAM, around $0.50/hour on-demand). Higher-end cards like the NVIDIA B200 or AMD MI355X reduce the GPU count needed.
Can LensVLM 9B run on a single GPU?
Yes. In 8-bit, a single NVIDIA P100 SXM2 (16 GB) fits the model.
How much does it cost to serve LensVLM 9B in the cloud?
Renting 1x T4 costs on the order of $0.50/hour, i.e. about $365/month running 24/7. Actual prices vary by provider and commitment; spot and reserved capacity can be significantly cheaper.
