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 6-Act Tether

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 6-Act Tether

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

0.7 GB

Fastest

677,647 tok/s

6-Act Tether is small enough at 5M 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 7,373 tokens per second.

A B200 is the fastest we calculate for it: about 677,647 tokens per second, from 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

What this model is

6-Act Tether was published by Facebook AI Research,Georgia Institute of Technology, in United States of America, in August 2021. industry,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Robotics, and is recorded as doing object detection.

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.

What decides the speed

The median result is around 19,028.3 tokens per second; 818 cards produce text faster than most people read it.

Every weight participates in every token here, so bandwidth is the whole story: the ranking below is effectively a ranking of memory throughput.

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.

How it was trained

The training set ran to roughly 125,000,000 tokens.

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

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for 6-Act Tether

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

The table lists every card that can hold 6-Act Tether — around 0.7 GB at Q8_0. That figure, not the card's headline performance, is what decides whether it runs.
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 6-Act Tether.
03

Decide how much compression you will accept

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 6-Act Tether by squeezing it further than you would want.
04

Compare tokens per second, not specifications

Sort by speed to see how cards rank for 6-Act Tether. It will not match a gaming ordering — generation is bound by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 677,647 tok/s.
05

Read the fit column last

Tight means 6-Act Tether 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.
06

Check the card from the other side

Following a card through to its own page shows every other model it can hold, which is the question that follows once 6-Act Tether is settled.

Answers

6-Act Tether — common questions

Can I run 6-Act Tether 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 95,718 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run 6-Act Tether 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 113,506 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Is 6-Act Tether open source?

Its weights are published, so 6-Act Tether 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 6-Act Tether have?

6-Act Tether has 5M parameters. "Agent parameter counts were all 5 − 6 million parameters, excluding parameters in auxiliary modules". 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 6-Act Tether?

6-Act Tether was published by Facebook AI Research,Georgia Institute of Technology, based in United States of America, categorised as industry,Academia.

When was 6-Act Tether released?

6-Act Tether was published in August 2021. 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 6-Act Tether used for?

6-Act Tether works in Robotics, and is recorded as handling object detection. 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 6-Act Tether?

The weights for 6-Act Tether are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

Can I run 6-Act Tether 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 6-Act Tether is rarely worth using. Every figure here assumes the whole model is on the card.

Would two GPUs run 6-Act Tether faster?

Two cards buy memory rather than speed. That matters for 6-Act Tether only if one card cannot hold it — 818 can, so a second adds little.

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for 6-Act Tether?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold, and 6-Act Tether appears at 1 different compression levels across the cards that fit it. Bigger cards get the more accurate version.

How accurate are these 6-Act Tether speed estimates?

Every figure is derived from memory bandwidth and model size, not benchmarked. That is why each is published as a range such as 406,588–1,084,235 tok/s on the B200 rather than a single number.

What GPU do I need to run 6-Act Tether?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds 6-Act Tether is the Tesla C1080, with 4 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q8_0 using about 0.7 GB, and produces roughly 7,373 tokens per second. 818 cards in total can run it.

How fast is 6-Act Tether on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 677,647 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 6-Act Tether clear that.

How much VRAM does 6-Act Tether 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.

Can I run 6-Act Tether 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 126,212 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run 6-Act Tether 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 77,286 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.
