What GPU do I need to run segmind/SSD-1B?
1.3B parameters, published in F32. View on Hugging Face
SSD-1B is published by segmind on Hugging Face, with 16,715 downloads and 841 likes to date. It's a unlisted-architecture model built for text-to-image, published natively in F32.
VRAM required & cheapest live GPU fit
Required VRAM = weight size at each precision, plus a fixed overhead for activation memory and allocator fragmentation. Diffusion and video models carry no KV-cache. The real driver of extra memory is output resolution and frame count, which this flat overhead does not model. 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 SSD-1B 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.
