What it takes to serve all-roberta-large-v1 (355M parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Sep 18, 2026.

SAVRN's Notes on all-roberta-large-v1

Nine tenths of a gigabyte. That is the memory this embedding model needs at 16-bit, with 0.7 GB of weights, to turn sentences and paragraphs into 1,024-dimensional vectors for clustering and semantic search. The cheapest listed setup is one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour on demand, so the card is barely awake and this sits beside whatever else the GPU is doing. The 514-token context is the real constraint: longer text gets chunked first.

Apache 2.0 allows commercial use, modification and redistribution as long as the license and copyright notices travel with the files. Two checks before committing. The repository is 12.4 GB across 29 files because it ships safetensors, ONNX, OpenVINO and PyTorch copies, so pull only the format your runtime loads. And the five papers it cites describe conversational, question-answering and summarization datasets, a fair guide to what it was trained on.

Model Card

By Sentence Transformers, published under apache-2.0, revision cf74d8acd4f1.

This is a sentence-transformers model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1024 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.

Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can use the model like this:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/all-roberta-large-v1')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)

Without sentence-transformers, you can use the model like this: First, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you have to apply the right pooling-operation on-top of the contextualized word embeddings.

Questions About all-roberta-large-v1

How much GPU memory does all-roberta-large-v1 need?

About 0.9 GB at 16-bit and 0.2 GB at 4-bit: the weights (355M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run all-roberta-large-v1 on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

Can I use all-roberta-large-v1 commercially?

Yes. all-roberta-large-v1 is released under Apache License 2.0. The Apache License 2.0 is a permissive open-source license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution. It requires keeping the license and copyright notices and any NOTICE file, stating significant changes, and it includes an express patent grant from contributors.

What is all-roberta-large-v1's context length?

514 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.

General Text Embeddings (GTE) model. Towards General Text Embeddings with Multi-stage Contrastive Learning The GTE models are trained by Alibaba DAMO Academy. They are mainly based on the BERT framework and currently offer three different sizes of models, including GTE-large, GTE-base, and GTE-small. The GTE models are trained on a large-scale corpus of relevance text pairs, covering a wide range of domains and scenarios. This enables the GTE models to be applied to various downstream tasks of text embeddings, including information retrieval, semantic textual similarity, text reranking, etc. We compared the performance of the GTE models with other popular text embedding models on the MTEB…
