LFM2 models
16 LFM2 models on Hugging Face, from 230M to 8.5B parameters. At the precision each one is published in, the smallest needs about 0.5 GB of VRAM (LFM2.5-230M, cheapest live fit: RTX 5060 Ti) and the largest about 18.9 GB (LFM2.5-8B-A1B, cheapest live fit: RTX A5000). The cheapest way to run LFM2.5-230M is $0.110/hr.

VRAM is for the precision the model is published in, with the same overhead and an 8,192-token context assumed on every page; see the methodology. The fit shown is the lowest-priced single GPU type that holds the model at that precision, or the lowest-priced multi-GPU set (up to 8) when none does.
