Question 1

How much VRAM does MiniMax-M3.1-Flash need?

Accepted Answer

MiniMax-M3.1-Flash (220.5B) requires approximately 492.83546361923214 GB of VRAM at full precision (FP16), 246.4 GB at 8-bit quantization (Q8), and 123.2 GB at 4-bit quantization (Q4). The actual VRAM usage may be slightly higher due to KV cache and runtime overhead.

Question 2

What GPUs can run MiniMax-M3.1-Flash?

Accepted Answer

We currently have no compatible GPUs indexed for MiniMax-M3.1-Flash. This may be because the model's VRAM requirements exceed available GPUs in our database, or VRAM data hasn't been computed yet.

Question 3

What is the cheapest GPU to run MiniMax-M3.1-Flash?

Accepted Answer

We don't currently have cloud pricing data for GPUs compatible with MiniMax-M3.1-Flash. Cloud pricing data is updated regularly — check back soon.

Question 4

Can MiniMax-M3.1-Flash run on consumer hardware?

Accepted Answer

MiniMax-M3.1-Flash requires approximately 492.83546361923214 GB of VRAM at FP16, and even with 4-bit quantization (Q4) it needs about 123.2 GB. This exceeds the 24 GB available on the highest-end consumer GPU (RTX 4090), so MiniMax-M3.1-Flash requires datacenter or cloud GPUs.

Question 5

What quantization options are available for MiniMax-M3.1-Flash?

Accepted Answer

MiniMax-M3.1-Flash supports the following quantization levels: FP16 (full precision): ~492.83546361923214 GB, Q8 (8-bit): ~246.4 GB, Q6 (6-bit): ~184.8 GB, Q4 (4-bit): ~123.2 GB. Lower quantization reduces VRAM usage at the cost of some quality loss. Q8 offers a good balance between quality and memory savings, while Q4 provides maximum compression.
