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 TRIMELMext (247M)

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.

What the numbers mean

The hardware side

Minimum card

Tesla C1080

Memory needed

1.0 GB

Fastest

13,718 tok/s

TRIMELMext (247M) is small enough at 247M parameters that hardware is rarely the obstacle — 818 of the cards we track can run it, including cards several years old.

At the low end, a Tesla C1080 handles it — 4 GB, at Q8_0, for about 149 tokens per second.

At the other end, a B200 generates roughly 13,718 tokens per second on it, on the strength of 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Where it came from

TRIMELMext (247M) was published by Princeton University, in United States of America, in May 2022. It comes out of academia.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Translation.

The weights being open is what puts this page in the calculator rather than only in the catalogue: it is a model you can actually hold.

Understanding the speeds

Half the cards that hold it manage more than 385.2 tokens per second, and 818 exceed reading speed outright.

It is a dense model, so every parameter is read for every token produced. That makes speed track memory bandwidth almost exactly — a card with twice the bandwidth generates roughly twice as fast.

Its internal architecture is not on file, so memory is approximated from the parameter count and marked accordingly. Expect the real figure to differ, more so at long context.

How it was trained

Training it took roughly 3.1 × 10¹⁹ FLOP of computation — a measure of what producing the model cost, not of how fast it answers.

The training set ran to roughly 21,086,208,000 tokens.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for TRIMELMext (247M)

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

01

Read the memory figure first

Look at what TRIMELMext (247M) actually needs — around 1.0 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 TRIMELMext (247M).
03

Choose how far you will compress it

Compression is what makes TRIMELMext (247M) fit smaller cards, at some cost in accuracy — Q8_0 on the smallest card that fits. A minimum quality removes the ones that go too far.
04

Sort by speed

The speed ordering for TRIMELMext (247M) is effectively an ordering by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 13,718 tok/s.
05

Check the fit verdict before buying

A tight fit runs TRIMELMext (247M) but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation; comfortable has headroom. If you expect to grow the context, buy for comfortable.
06

See what else that card runs

Every card name links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across the whole model catalogue. Worth a look before buying for TRIMELMext (247M) alone — a card is usually bought for more than one model.

Answers

TRIMELMext (247M) — common questions

Can I run TRIMELMext (247M) on a 8 GB GPU?

Yes. A CMP 170HX 8 GB with 8 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 1.0 GB and generating roughly 2,555 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run TRIMELMext (247M) on a 12 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 12 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 1.0 GB and generating roughly 1,564 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run TRIMELMext (247M) on a 16 GB GPU?

Yes. A Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB with 16 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 1.0 GB and generating roughly 1,938 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run TRIMELMext (247M) on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 24 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 1.0 GB and generating roughly 2,298 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Is TRIMELMext (247M) open source?

Its weights are published, so TRIMELMext (247M) 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 TRIMELMext (247M) have?

TRIMELMext (247M) has 247M parameters. 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 TRIMELMext (247M)?

TRIMELMext (247M) was published by Princeton University, based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

When was TRIMELMext (247M) released?

TRIMELMext (247M) was published in May 2022. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

What is TRIMELMext (247M) used for?

TRIMELMext (247M) works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Translation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

Where can I download TRIMELMext (247M)?

The weights for TRIMELMext (247M) are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

How much compute was used to train TRIMELMext (247M)?

Around 3.1 × 10¹⁹ FLOP. 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.

Can I run TRIMELMext (247M) 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 TRIMELMext (247M) assume it is fully resident.

Would two GPUs run TRIMELMext (247M) faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 818 cards already able to run TRIMELMext (247M) alone, the case for pairing is weak.

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for TRIMELMext (247M)?

A larger card holds a more accurate copy. Across the cards that run TRIMELMext (247M), 1 compression levels are used; the floor control above pins it to one.

How accurate are these TRIMELMext (247M) speed estimates?

These are estimates with real error bars. The fastest result here, 8,231–21,948 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 TRIMELMext (247M)?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds TRIMELMext (247M) is the Tesla C1080, with 4 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q8_0 using about 1.0 GB, and produces roughly 149 tokens per second. 818 cards in total can run it.

How fast is TRIMELMext (247M) on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 13,718 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 TRIMELMext (247M) clear that.

How much VRAM does TRIMELMext (247M) need?

About 1.0 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.
