We introduce state-of-the-art multi-input transformer for age and gender estimation. This model was trained on proprietary and open-source datasets.
Runs On
What it takes to serve mivolo_v2 (29M 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 | 0.1 GB | 0.1 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
| 8-bit | 0.0 GB | 0.0 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
| 4-bit | 0.0 GB | 0.0 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x 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, read Sep 18, 2026.
SAVRN's Notes on mivolo_v2
Point it at a photo and it hands back an age and a gender, the entire job for Irina Tolstykh's 29M-parameter multi-input transformer. At 16-bit the weights take 0.1 GB, and the 8-bit and 4-bit rows round to zero, yet the cheapest setup is a 192 GB MI300X at $1.85 per hour. The card is the cost and the model a rounding error, so batch images to fill it or share it with something bigger.

Questions About mivolo_v2
How much GPU memory does mivolo_v2 need?
About 0.1 GB at 16-bit and 0 GB at 4-bit: the weights (29M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.
What is the cheapest GPU to run mivolo_v2 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 mivolo_v2 commercially?
Yes. mivolo_v2 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.
