Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct is published by meta-llama on Hugging Face, with 103,812 downloads and 358 likes to date. It's a MllamaForConditionalGeneration model built for image-text-to-text, published natively in BF16, 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 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 caveat: requires a quantized checkpoint actually published for this model, check its Hugging Face page before relying on this row.

Cheapest way to run Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct at its published (BF16) precision: 5× A40 on runpod, at $0.440/hr per GPU ($2.20/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
