## Runs On

What it takes to serve indicbert-scam-classifier (278M 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 7, 2026.

## Questions About indicbert-scam-classifier

### How much GPU memory does indicbert-scam-classifier need?

About 0.7 GB at 16-bit and 0.2 GB at 4-bit: the weights (278M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

### What is the cheapest GPU to run indicbert-scam-classifier 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 indicbert-scam-classifier commercially?

Yes. indicbert-scam-classifier is released under MIT License. The MIT License is a short permissive license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution, provided the copyright notice and permission notice are included.

### What is indicbert-scam-classifier's context length?

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

### [indicbert-scam-classifier-v2](https://savrn.com/models/indicbert-scam-classifier-v2)

[Anmol Shrivastav](https://savrn.com/model-publishers/anmolshrivastav)

A sequence classification model fine-tuned on top of ai4bharat/IndicBERTv2-MLM-only to detect fraudulent, phishing, and scam messages across 14 Indian languages and language varieties[cite: 4]. This v2 model represents a significant upgrade over the baseline v1 iteration, leveraging advanced entity masking and continuous feedback loop training on a T4 GPU to heavily reduce False Negatives (scam $ightarrow$ ham misclassifications). The original v1 baseline achieved a highly respectable 98.29% accuracy but exhibited vulnerabilities to specific scam evasion tactics (e.g., protocol obfuscation like hxxp://, naked domains, and specific tele-fraud requests)[cite: 4]. To resolve this, v2 was…

This repository contains a fine-tuned XLM-RoBERTa Base model for 3-class sentiment classification in Sindhi. The model predicts one of the following labels: - positive - neutral - negative This model is intended for research, experimentation, and lightweight production prototyping on Sindhi-language sentiment analysis tasks. It may be useful for short-text classification such as reviews, feedback, and social-media snippets. It should not be used as the only basis for high-stakes decisions. Performance can vary by domain, dialect, and writing style, and human review is recommended when errors could affect people or organizations. The saved model artifacts in this repository report the…
