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.

Other Reported Results

These results are listed for each model on its own, because the conditions needed to compare them are not stated or do not match. Two results that leave a condition blank are not assumed to share it.

SAVRN's Notes on Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct

Where does a model that reads images and text and answers in text belong in a rack? Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct gives three answers: 19.9 GB at 16-bit, 10.0 GB at 8-bit, 5.0 GB at 4-bit, for 8.3B parameters. The cheapest rental listed, a single 192 GB MI300X at $1.85 an hour, sits mostly idle at full precision. So we would co-locate it: run 16-bit beside whatever else the card serves, and hold the rest for a 128,000-token context.

Apache 2.0 lets you modify it, redistribute it and sell what you build; the obligations are keeping notices and stating significant changes. Check the context math: the page lists 128,000 tokens, the configuration shows a 32,768-token sliding window, and the relations point to the YaRN context extension paper, so ask your serving stack which number it honors. Then read the ScreenSpot-Pro rows by application; they span 0.0 to 72.0.

SAVRN's Notes on Qwen3.5-9B

Start from 23.2 GB. That is the memory need at 16-bit, 19.3 GB of it weights, falling to 11.6 GB at 8-bit and 5.8 GB at 4-bit. The cheapest setup is one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 per hour, so this 9.7 billion parameter image-and-text model leaves most of the card empty. The rest is room: long prompts against the 262,144-token context, or a second copy of the weights.

Apache 2.0 lets you modify it, redistribute it and sell access, provided the license and NOTICE file travel with it and significant changes are stated. Confirm you want this build rather than the Qwen3.5-9B-Base it derives from, then check the hosts: DeepInfra charges $0.10 in and $0.15 out per million tokens, Together AI $0.17 and $0.25. Your own hardware wins on volume and on keeping images in-house.
