Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

Fastest

137,339 tok/s

AntiFormer is small enough at 24.7M parameters that hardware is rarely the obstacle — 818 of the cards we track can run it, including cards several years old.

The smallest card that holds it is the Tesla C1080 with 4 GB, running it at Q8_0 and producing around 1,494 tokens per second.

The quickest result comes from a B200 at around 137,339 tokens per second — its 8,000 GB/s of bandwidth is what buys that.

About this model

AntiFormer was published by University of Florida,Sichuan University,Shihezi University,University of Macau,University of Texas Health Science Center, in United States of America, in August 2024. academia,Academia,Academia,Academia,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing protein protein binding affinity prediction.

Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded.

How fast it runs, and why

The median result is around 3,856.5 tokens per second; 818 cards produce text faster than most people read it.

Being dense, it reads all of itself per token, which is why the ordering by speed below follows the ordering by memory bandwidth so closely.

Without the attention layout on record, the memory column is an approximation. It is close enough to choose hardware by, and least reliable at long context.

Training and provenance

The training run consumed about 1.7 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB. That figure describes the cost of creating it and has no bearing on how quickly it generates text.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for AntiFormer

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

  1. 01

    Check what it needs before anything else

    The table lists every card that can hold AntiFormer — around 0.7 GB at Q8_0. That figure, not the card's headline performance, is what decides whether it runs.

  2. 02

    Match the context to your actual use

    The conversation occupies memory too, and grows as it goes. Set the slider to the length you expect: at long context AntiFormer can slip off a card that handles short questions easily.

  3. 03

    Choose how far you will compress it

    Each card runs the least-compressed copy it can hold — Q8_0 on the smallest card that fits. Setting a floor drops the cards that only manage AntiFormer by squeezing it further than you would want.

  4. 04

    Rank by throughput rather than spec sheet

    Ranking by tokens per second for AntiFormer follows memory bandwidth, not core counts, which is why the B200 tops it at 137,339 tok/s.

  5. 05

    Read the fit column last

    Tight means AntiFormer loads and works, with no room to raise the context later. Comfortable means you can. The difference matters more than a few tokens per second.

  6. 06

    Open the card you have settled on

    Every card name links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across the whole model catalogue. Worth a look before buying for AntiFormer alone — a card is usually bought for more than one model.

Answers

AntiFormer — common questions

01

How fast is AntiFormer on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 137,339 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 818 of the cards that can run AntiFormer clear that.

02

How much VRAM does AntiFormer need?

About 0.7 GB at Q8_0 compression, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

03

Can I run AntiFormer on a 8 GB GPU?

Yes. A CMP 170HX 8 GB with 8 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 0.7 GB and generating roughly 25,579 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

04

Can I run AntiFormer on a 12 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 12 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 0.7 GB and generating roughly 15,664 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

05

Can I run AntiFormer on a 16 GB GPU?

Yes. A Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB with 16 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 0.7 GB and generating roughly 19,399 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

06

Can I run AntiFormer on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 24 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 0.7 GB and generating roughly 23,004 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

07

Is AntiFormer open source?

Its weights are published, so AntiFormer can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

08

How many parameters does AntiFormer have?

AntiFormer has 24.7M parameters. Loaded provided model file from Zenodo page into PyTorch. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

09

Who created AntiFormer?

AntiFormer was published by University of Florida,Sichuan University,Shihezi University,University of Macau,University of Texas Health Science Center, based in United States of America, categorised as academia,Academia,Academia,Academia,Academia.

10

When was AntiFormer released?

AntiFormer was published in August 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

11

What is AntiFormer used for?

AntiFormer works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein protein binding affinity prediction. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

12

Where can I download AntiFormer?

The weights for AntiFormer are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

13

How much compute was used to train AntiFormer?

Around 1.7 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

14

Can I run AntiFormer if it does not fit in my GPU?

Only by offloading, which is usually a false economy: the part in system memory drags the whole thing down. Our figures for AntiFormer assume it is fully resident.

15

Would two GPUs run AntiFormer faster?

Capacity adds across cards; throughput does not. Since 818 of the cards we track already hold AntiFormer on their own, a second card is rarely the answer here.

16

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for AntiFormer?

A larger card holds a more accurate copy. Across the cards that run AntiFormer, 1 compression levels are used; the floor control above pins it to one.

17

How accurate are these AntiFormer speed estimates?

These are estimates with real error bars. The fastest result here, 82,403–219,742 tok/s on the B200, could reasonably land anywhere in its published range depending on which runtime you use.

18

What GPU do I need to run AntiFormer?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds AntiFormer is the Tesla C1080, with 4 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q8_0 using about 0.7 GB, and produces roughly 1,494 tokens per second. 818 cards in total can run it.
