What GPU do I need to run google/medasr?
105M parameters, published in F32. View on Hugging FaceGated
medasr is published by google on Hugging Face, with 87,707 downloads and 360 likes to date. It's a unlisted-architecture model built for automatic-speech-recognition, published natively in F32, and gated: you'll need to accept the model's terms on Hugging Face before downloading weights.
VRAM required & cheapest live GPU fit
Required VRAM = weight size at each precision, plus a fixed overhead for activations and allocator fragmentation. Speech models don't build the same growing KV-cache a text model does. Memory scales primarily with input audio length. 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 caveat: requires a quantized checkpoint actually published for this model, check its Hugging Face page before relying on this row.
Cheapest way to run medasr at its published (F32) precision: 1× P4 on akash, at $0.032/hr per GPU ($0.032/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
Weight-to-VRAM math, the fit rules, and how live prices are normalized: full methodology.
