An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.
SAVRN's Notes on Kronos-Tokenizer-2k
What do you run on a model whose memory line reads 0.0 GB at all three precisions? Whatever is already in the rack. Kronos-Tokenizer-2k sits at the front of the Kronos framework, quantizing continuous OHLCV candlestick data into hierarchical discrete tokens for the autoregressive Transformer that follows. At 4 million parameters and about 16 MB across 4 files, it is a preprocessing step, not a workload; the cheapest setup we price, one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour, is waste unless the forecasting model rides on the same card.
MIT is about as light as licensing gets: commercial use, modification and redistribution, with only the copyright and permission notices to carry along. A tokenizer does nothing alone, so confirm which Kronos forecasting model you will pair it with, read arXiv:2508.02739 for the two-stage design, and note the September 9, 2025 update against a July 1, 2025 release.
SAVRN's Notes on Kronos-Tokenizer-base
The memory line reads 0.0 GB at 16-bit, 8-bit and 4-bit, and that is no error. This is the tokenizer stage of Kronos, a decoder-only family built for financial candlesticks: it quantizes OHLCV K-line data into hierarchical discrete tokens for the autoregressive Transformer in stage two. At 4M parameters and 15.85 MB it will not decide your hardware. The cheapest option we list, a single MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour on-demand, is sized for the second stage, not this piece.
MIT is as light as licenses get: commercial use, modification and redistribution are permitted as long as the copyright and permission notices travel with the files. The check is scope. This page carries no context length and no configuration block, so get the second-stage model and its limits before planning a deployment. Training data came from over 45 global exchanges; confirm yours are covered.
Questions
