## Runs On

What it takes to serve GemmaDecision-270M (268M 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](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus), read Oct 9, 2026.

## Model Card

A fully tuned Gemma-270M candidate ranker: it scores each supplied choice together with the request, using a scalar decision head. Intended research tasks are banking-support topic selection and three-way evidence relations. It does not generate answers. The complete modified encoder and head are included. On the private fresh-prompt test, accuracy is 96.50% for four-way banking topics and 78.00% for three-way NLI, with an equal-family mean of 87.25%. Both frozen task targets were met on this private test. See RESULTS.md for both baselines, paired uncertainty, coverage, synthetic challenge results and failures. Package 0.2.0 uses ONNX Runtime on CPU by default. The standard install requires…

## Questions About GemmaDecision-270M

### How much GPU memory does GemmaDecision-270M need?

About 0.6 GB at 16-bit and 0.2 GB at 4-bit: the weights (268M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

### What is the cheapest GPU to run GemmaDecision-270M 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 GemmaDecision-270M commercially?

Yes, with conditions. GemmaDecision-270M is released under Gemma Terms of Use. Gemma models are released under Google's Gemma Terms of Use, which permit commercial use and redistribution subject to the Gemma Prohibited Use Policy, whose restrictions must be passed on to anyone the model is distributed to.

### What is GemmaDecision-270M's context length?

32,768 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.

[Jina AI](https://savrn.com/model-publishers/jinaai)

The Jina Reranker v2 (jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual) is a transformer-based model that has been fine-tuned for text reranking task, which is a crucial component in many information retrieval systems. It is a cross-encoder model that takes a query and a document pair as input and outputs a score indicating the relevance of the document to the query. The model is trained on a large dataset of query-document pairs and is capable of reranking documents in multiple languages with high accuracy. Compared with the state-of-the-art reranker models, including the previous released jina-reranker-v1-base-en, the Jina Reranker v2 model has demonstrated competitiveness across a series of benchmarks…
