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 MuQ-large-msd-iter

Music, not speech, is the signal here: a 333M parameter representation model pre-trained by self-supervised learning with Mel residual vector quantization, the method in arXiv:2501.01108. Memory barely registers: 0.8 GB at 16-bit, 0.4 GB at 8-bit, 0.2 GB at 4-bit. Our cheapest listed card, one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 per hour on-demand, could hold hundreds of copies, so put it on a card already doing other audio work.

Questions About MuQ-large-msd-iter

How much GPU memory does MuQ-large-msd-iter need?

About 0.8 GB at 16-bit and 0.2 GB at 4-bit: the weights (333M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run MuQ-large-msd-iter 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.

The model expects a raw audio signal as input and outputs predictions for age in a range of approximately 0...1 (0...100 years) and gender expressing the probababilty for being child, female, or male. In addition, it also provides the pooled states of the last transformer layer. The model was created by fine-tuning Wav2Vec2-Large-Robust Timit and For this version of the model we trained all 24 transformer layers. An ONNX export of the model is available from Further details are given in the associated paper and tutorial.

Aniemore

Speech emotion recognition for Russian over seven classes: anger, disgust, enthusiasm, fear, happiness, neutral, sadness. Fine-tuned from jonatasgrosman/expw2v2truwavlms363 on Aniemore/resd. Audio resampled to 16 kHz mono, clips capped at 12 s, normalized per utterance, padding masked. UA is macro-averaged recall, WA is accuracy, F1 is macro-averaged. All three test sets went through the same harness, so the rows are comparable to each other. The RESD split matches fold 1 of EmoBox bit for bit. The top entry there is WavLM-large at WA 56.47 / UA 55.87 / F1 55.82. These numbers are higher, but the training protocol differs — EmoBox freezes the encoder and trains a probe, this is a full…
