## Runs On

What it takes to serve MiniCPM-o-2_6 (8.7B parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

| Precision | Weights | Memory needed | Cheapest setup | Per hour | Also fits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 16-bit | 17.3 GB | 20.8 GB | 1x [MI300X](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus/mi300x) (192 GB) Vultr | $1.85 | [1x H100](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus/h100) $1.99 · [1x MI325X](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus/mi325x) $2.00 |

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 24, 2026.

## SAVRN's Notes on MiniCPM-o-2_6

Plan around 20.8 GB. That is the 16-bit footprint of MiniCPM-o 2.6, and it falls to 10.4 GB at 8-bit and 5.2 GB at 4-bit. On the cheapest card in our table, one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 per hour on-demand, that leaves most of the memory free, so the practical deployment is several copies per card. You get an 8.7B parameter any-to-any model assembled end to end from SigLip-400M, Whisper-medium-300M, ChatTTS-200M and Qwen2.5-7B, with a 32,768 token context.

Apache 2.0 allows commercial use, modification and redistribution, asks you to keep the license, copyright and NOTICE files and state significant changes, and carries a patent grant from contributors, which matters once a product depends on it. Before committing, check that the alignment data is the RLAIF-V-Dataset, that the weights ship only as safetensors, and that the repository was last updated August 18, 2026 after a January 12, 2025 release.

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 MiniCPM-o-2_6 commercially?

Yes. MiniCPM-o-2_6 is released under Apache License 2.0. The Apache License 2.0 is a permissive open-source license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution. It requires keeping the license and copyright notices and any NOTICE file, stating significant changes, and it includes an express patent grant from contributors.

### What is MiniCPM-o-2_6's context length?

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