What GPU do I need to run thinkingmachines/Inkling?
952.4B parameters, published in BF16. View on Hugging Face
Inkling is published by thinkingmachines on Hugging Face, with 197,452 downloads and 1,760 likes to date. It's a InklingForConditionalGeneration model built for image-text-to-text, published natively in BF16.
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.
Weight-to-VRAM math, the fit rules, and how live prices are normalized: full methodology.
