Question 1

How much VRAM does MiniMax-VL-01 need?

Accepted Answer

MiniMax-VL-01 (456.4B) requires approximately 1020.2166870117187 GB of VRAM at full precision (FP16), 510.1 GB at 8-bit quantization (Q8), and 255.1 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-VL-01?

Accepted Answer

We currently have no compatible GPUs indexed for MiniMax-VL-01. 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-VL-01?

Accepted Answer

We don't currently have cloud pricing data for GPUs compatible with MiniMax-VL-01. Cloud pricing data is updated regularly — check back soon.

Question 4

Can MiniMax-VL-01 run on consumer hardware?

Accepted Answer

MiniMax-VL-01 requires approximately 1020.2166870117187 GB of VRAM at FP16, and even with 4-bit quantization (Q4) it needs about 255.1 GB. This exceeds the 24 GB available on the highest-end consumer GPU (RTX 4090), so MiniMax-VL-01 requires datacenter or cloud GPUs.

Question 5

What quantization options are available for MiniMax-VL-01?

Accepted Answer

MiniMax-VL-01 supports the following quantization levels: FP16 (full precision): ~1020.2166870117187 GB, Q8 (8-bit): ~510.1 GB, Q6 (6-bit): ~382.6 GB, Q4 (4-bit): ~255.1 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.
