New AI models · updated 24 October 2026, 18:09 UTC

New AI models,and the GPU each one needs.

Open models released in the last 60 days that people are downloading, with how much card memory each needs and the cheapest card that runs it. Then new pay-as-you-go AI services, and every price change we've seen. Read every 6 hours.

Download them, run them on a GPU.

From Hugging Face, most liked first. Chat models are counted at 4-bit, the usual way to run them, plus room for a short conversation; others as published. How we work it out

"From" is the cheapest typical hourly price on Vast.ai among cards with enough memory. We leave out copies, compressed versions and add-ons of other models, and "uncensored" remakes. Fits in 32 GB? Rent a GPU on KernelMachine

Questions, answered plainly.

What new AI models came out recently?

Of open models released in the last 60 days, the most liked on Hugging Face are laya (convaiinnovations), DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (deepseek-ai), Qwen-Image-2.1 (Qwen), ZDTaichu5.0-9B (TaichuAI), embeddinggemma-2 (google). The table above has more, with the card each one needs.

What GPU do I need to run laya?

laya needs about 1 GB (as published). The smallest card that fits is an RTX 4080 (16 GB), and the cheapest card that fits costs $0.18/hr on an RTX 4060 Ti 16GB.

How do you work out how much memory a model needs?

For chat models: the number of parameters in billions times 0.6 GB at 4-bit, the usual way to run them, plus about 1.5 GB for the program and a short conversation. For other models: the size of their published files. Long conversations, big images and batches need more.

Which AI services changed their prices?

In the last 30 days, per million tokens: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0423 (DeepSeek, 24 Oct): $0.57 → $0.42; Kimi Latest (MoonshotAI, 24 Oct): $16 → $8.94; Kimi K2.7 Code (MoonshotAI, 24 Oct): $3.35 → $3.10. The table above has every change we've seen.
