What it takes to serve Janus-Pro-1B (2.1B 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 23, 2026.

### 1. Introduction

Janus-Pro is a novel autoregressive framework that unifies multimodal understanding and generation. It addresses the limitations of previous approaches by decoupling visual encoding into separate pathways, while still utilizing a single, unified transformer architecture for processing. The decoupling not only alleviates the conflict between the visual encoder’s roles in understanding and generation, but also enhances the framework’s flexibility. Janus-Pro surpasses previous unified model and matches or exceeds the performance of task-specific models. The simplicity, high flexibility, and effectiveness of Janus-Pro make it a strong candidate for next-generation unified multimodal models.

#### 2. Model Summary

Janus-Pro is a unified understanding and generation MLLM, which decouples visual encoding for multimodal understanding and generation. Janus-Pro is constructed based on the DeepSeek-LLM-1.5b-base/DeepSeek-LLM-7b-base.

For multimodal understanding, it uses the [SigLIP-L](https://huggingface.co/timm/ViT-L-16-SigLIP-384) as the vision encoder, which supports 384 x 384 image input. For image generation, Janus-Pro uses the tokenizer from [here](https://github.com/FoundationVision/LlamaGen) with a downsample rate of 16.

## Questions About Janus-Pro-1B

### How much GPU memory does Janus-Pro-1B need?

About 5 GB at 16-bit and 1.2 GB at 4-bit: the weights (2.1B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

### What is the cheapest GPU to run Janus-Pro-1B 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 Janus-Pro-1B commercially?

Yes. Janus-Pro-1B 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 Janus-Pro-1B's context length?

16,384 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.

This model ships a Multi-Token Prediction drafter at the repo root (mtp-gemma-4-12B-it.gguf, a near-lossless smart Q40). A recent llama.cpp auto-discovers it from -hf, so you do not pass --model-draft: The drafter shares the target's KV cache and does not change the output (the target verifies every drafted token).
