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.

The extremes

The ten fastest GPUs that run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite

Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.

The smallest GPUs that still run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite

The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.

Fastest

1,694 tok/s

Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite is small enough at 2B 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 18.4 tokens per second.

Top of the range is the B200, at roughly 1,694 tokens per second thanks to 8,000 GB/s of bandwidth.

About this model

Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite was published by Sber, in Russia, in September 2025. It comes out of industry,Government.

It works in Video, and is recorded as doing video generation, Text-to-video.

The weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware indefinitely, offline, with no account attached. It is published under the ai-forever organisation on Hugging Face.

How fast it runs, and why

The median result is around 47.6 tokens per second; 789 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.

Memory here is estimated from size rather than computed from the architecture, which is not recorded for this model — the numbers are indicative rather than exact.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite

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

01

Start from the memory column

Look at what Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite actually needs — around 2.8 GB at Q8_0. No amount of processing power compensates for a card that cannot hold it.
02

Match the context to your actual use

Longer conversations cost memory on top of what the weights need. Move the slider to your real working length before trusting any row for Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite.
03

Choose how far you will compress it

The quantisation column varies by card, because a bigger card holds a more accurate copy of Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite — Q8_0 on the smallest card that fits. Set a floor to hold the comparison at one level.
04

Rank by throughput rather than spec sheet

Ranking by tokens per second for Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite follows memory bandwidth, not core counts, which is why the B200 tops it at 1,694 tok/s.
05

Read the fit column last

The fit column separates cards that just manage Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite from those with room to spare. Buy for the second if the context might grow.
06

Check the card from the other side

Each card page repeats this sweep for every model we hold. It answers what else the hardware is good for, beyond Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite.

Answers

Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite — common questions

Can I run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite on a 16 GB GPU?

Yes. A Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB with 16 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 2.8 GB and generating roughly 239 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 24 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 2.8 GB and generating roughly 284 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Is Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite open source?

Its weights are published, so Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite 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.

How many parameters does Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite have?

Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite has 2B parameters. 2B. 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.

Who created Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite?

Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite was published by Sber, based in Russia, categorised as industry,Government.

When was Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite released?

Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite was published in September 2025.

What is Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite used for?

Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite works in Video, and is recorded as handling video generation, Text-to-video. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

Where can I download Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite?

Its weights are published under the ai-forever organisation on Hugging Face. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.

Can I run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite 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 Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite assume it is fully resident.

Would two GPUs run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite faster?

Two cards buy memory rather than speed. That matters for Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite only if one card cannot hold it — 818 can, so a second adds little.

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite?

Because capacity varies, so does how hard Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite has to be squeezed — 1 distinct levels appear in the table above. Set a minimum quality to compare at one.

How accurate are these Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite speed estimates?

These are estimates with real error bars. The fastest result here, 1,016–2,711 tok/s on the B200, could reasonably land anywhere in its published range depending on which runtime you use.

What GPU do I need to run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite is the Tesla C1080, with 4 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q8_0 using about 2.8 GB, and produces roughly 18.4 tokens per second. 818 cards in total can run it.

How fast is Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 1,694 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 789 of the cards that can run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite clear that.

How much VRAM does Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite need?

About 2.8 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.

Can I run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite on a 8 GB GPU?

Yes. A CMP 170HX 8 GB with 8 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 2.8 GB and generating roughly 316 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run Kandinsky 5.0 Video Lite on a 12 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 12 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 2.8 GB and generating roughly 193 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.
