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 Detic

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 Detic

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

What the numbers mean

What it takes to run this model

Minimum card

Tesla C1080

Memory needed

0.8 GB

Fastest

38,503 tok/s

Detic reaches a parameter count of 88M. That is small enough that hardware is rarely the obstacle, including on cards several years old. The number of cards we track that can run it: 818.

The smallest card that holds it is Tesla C1080, with a memory capacity of 4 GB, running it at a compression of Q8_0 and producing around 419 tokens per second.

At the other end sits B200, generating roughly 38,503 tokens per second on the strength of a memory bandwidth of 8,000 GB/s.

What this model is

Detic was published by Meta AI,University of Texas at Austin, in the country recorded as United States of America, during January 2022. The publishing organisation is categorised as industry,Academia.

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as performing the task of object detection, Image classification.

Published weights mean the model runs on your machine rather than someone else's, which is what makes the hardware question below answerable at all.

What decides the speed

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range sits at 1,081.2 tokens per second. Clearing the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed: 818 of them.

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.

Training and provenance

The training run consumed about 2.3 × 10¹⁹ FLOP, on hardware recorded as NVIDIA V100. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all: sOTA improvement.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for Detic

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

01

Check what it needs before anything else

Every card here has been checked against Detic, needing around 0.8 GB at a compression of Q8_0. That figure, not the headline performance of a card, is what decides whether it runs.
02

Decide how long your conversations run

The conversation occupies memory too, and grows as it goes. Set the slider to the length you expect, because at long context a card that handles short questions easily can be dropped by Detic.
03

Decide how much compression you will accept

The quantisation column varies by card, because a bigger card holds a more accurate copy, reaching a compression of Q8_0 on the smallest card that fits. Setting a minimum quality drops the cards that only manage it by squeezing further than you would want, and holds the comparison at one level.
04

Sort by speed

Sort by speed to see how cards rank for Detic. It will not match a gaming ordering, because generation is bound by memory bandwidth. The card topping the list is B200, at 38,503 tok/s.
05

Read the fit column last

Tight means it loads and works with no room to raise the context later, in the case of Detic. Comfortable means you can grow the context later. That difference matters more than a few tokens per second, so buy for comfortable if you expect to.
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. A card is usually bought for more than one model, so it is worth a look before buying for Detic.

Answers

Detic — common questions

Detic— can I run it on a GPU holding 16 GB?

Yes. The card Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB, holding 16 GB, runs it at a compression of Q8_0, using about 0.8 GB and generating roughly 5,439 tokens per second. The fit is comfortable.

Detic— can I run it on a GPU holding 24 GB?

Yes. The card GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, holding 24 GB, runs it at a compression of Q8_0, using about 0.8 GB and generating roughly 6,449 tokens per second. The fit is comfortable.

Detic— is it open source?

Its weights are published, so it 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.

Detic— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 88M. from https://github.com/microsoft/Swin-Transformer Swin-B have 88M, from page 8 : 'Training our ResNet50 model takes ∼ 22 hours on 8 V100 GPUs. The large 21K Swin-B model trains in ∼ 24 hours on 32 GPUs.'. 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.

Detic— who created it?

It was published by Meta AI,University of Texas at Austin, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as industry,Academia.

Detic— when was it released?

It was published in January 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.

Detic— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as handling the task of object detection, Image classification. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

Detic— where can I download it?

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

Detic— how much compute was used to train it?

Training consumed around 2.3 × 10¹⁹ FLOP, on hardware recorded as NVIDIA V100. 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.

Detic— can I run it if it does not fit in my GPU?

Partly. Layers that do not fit sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. Every figure here assumes the whole model is resident on the card.

Detic— would two GPUs run it faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. The number already able to run it alone: 818. So a second card is rarely the answer here.

Detic— why does the quantisation differ between cards?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold. The number of distinct compression levels across the cards that fit it: 1. Bigger cards get the more accurate version, and the quality floor above pins the comparison to one level.

Detic— how accurate are these speed estimates?

Every figure is derived from memory bandwidth and model size, not benchmarked, which is why each is published as a range rather than a single number. One example: 23,102–61,604 tok/s on B200. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

Detic— what GPU do I need to run it?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds it is Tesla C1080, with a memory capacity of 4 GB. It runs the model at a compression of Q8_0 using about 0.8 GB, and produces roughly 419 tokens per second. The number of cards able to run it in total: 818.

Detic— how fast is it on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is B200, at about 38,503 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and the number of cards clearing that: 818.

Detic— how much VRAM does it need?

It needs about 0.8 GB at a compression of Q8_0, 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.

Detic— can I run it on a GPU holding 8 GB?

Yes. The card CMP 170HX 8 GB, holding 8 GB, runs it at a compression of Q8_0, using about 0.8 GB and generating roughly 7,171 tokens per second. The fit is comfortable.

Detic— can I run it on a GPU holding 12 GB?

Yes. The card GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, holding 12 GB, runs it at a compression of Q8_0, using about 0.8 GB and generating roughly 4,391 tokens per second. The fit is comfortable.
