VRAM required & cheapest live GPU fit

Required VRAM = weight size at each precision, plus a fixed overhead for KV-cache, activations, and fragmentation. Full formula and assumptions: methodology.

A GPU is only matched to a row if its hardware supports that precision, and the primary recommendation is always a single-GPU fit when one exists.

INT4 requires a quantized checkpoint actually published for this model, check its Hugging Face page before relying on this row.

Cheapest way to run Apodex-1.1-mini at its published (BF16) precision: 1× RTX PRO 6000 on simplepod, at $1.59/hr per GPU ($1.59/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
