Questions About Alpamayo-1.5-10B

How much GPU memory does Alpamayo-1.5-10B need?

About 26.6 GB at 16-bit and 6.6 GB at 4-bit: the weights (11.1B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run Alpamayo-1.5-10B 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.

What license is Alpamayo-1.5-10B released under?

openmdw-1.1, as its publisher declares it. Read the license text before commercial use.

Flash Vision-Language-Action Inference for Autonomous Driving FlashDrive accelerates Alpamayo 1.5 — one of NVIDIA's 10B-parameter vision-language-action models for autonomous driving — by 4.7× with no loss in accuracy, through streaming inference, DFlash speculative reasoning, ParoQuant W4A8 quantization, adaptive action caching, and torch.compile. This repository mirrors the weights of nvidia/Alpamayo-1.5-10B and is the base checkpoint of the FlashDrive stack. Loading it pulls the derived companions automatically: Install FlashDrive, then load this base checkpoint — the -PARO and -DFlash companions are fetched automatically: The first call per stream only prefills the KV cache and returns…

Given an image and a task to complete (e.g. "Pour me some tea"), GraspMolmo will point to the most appropriate grasp location, which can then be matched to the closest stable grasp. Running the above code could result in the following output: To predict a grasp point and match it to one of the candidate grasps, refer to the GraspMolmo class. First, install graspmolmo with and then…

openvla-7b

OpenVLA Collaboration

OpenVLA 7B (openvla-7b) is an open vision-language-action model trained on 970K robot manipulation episodes from the Open X-Embodiment dataset. The model takes language instructions and camera images as input and generates robot actions. It supports controlling multiple robots out-of-the-box, and can be quickly adapted for new robot domains via (parameter-efficient) fine-tuning. All OpenVLA checkpoints, as well as our training codebase are released under an MIT License. For full details, please read our paper and see our project page. OpenVLA models take a language instruction and a camera image of a robot workspace as input, and predict (normalized) robot actions consisting of 7-DoF…
