What it takes to serve nsfw_image_detection (86M 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, read Sep 18, 2026.
SAVRN's Notes on nsfw_image_detection
A moderation gate does not get its own accelerator; it rides along with the pipeline it protects. Falcons.ai fine-tuned the google/vit-base-patch16-224-in21k Vision Transformer, pre-trained on ImageNet-21k, to detect NSFW images at 224 by 224 pixels. With 86M parameters it needs 0.2 GB at 16-bit and 0.1 GB at 8-bit or 4-bit. The table's one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour on-demand is there because the table has to name something; in practice it shares whatever accelerator already handles the images.
Under Apache 2.0 you can embed it in a commercial product, modify it and redistribute the result, provided the notices travel with it and you state significant changes. Check the files against the table: the stored precision is float32 and the nine files total 1.46 GB, well above the 0.2 GB row. Released in October 2023, it was last updated in September 2026.

Model Card: Fine-Tuned Vision Transformer (ViT) for NSFW Image Classification
Model Description
The Fine-Tuned Vision Transformer (ViT) is a variant of the transformer encoder architecture, similar to BERT, that has been adapted for image classification tasks. This specific model, named "google/vit-base-patch16-224-in21k," is pre-trained on a substantial collection of images in a supervised manner, leveraging the ImageNet-21k dataset. The images in the pre-training dataset are resized to a resolution of 224x224 pixels, making it suitable for a wide range of image recognition tasks.
During the training phase, meticulous attention was given to hyperparameter settings to ensure optimal model performance. The model was fine-tuned with a judiciously chosen batch size of 16. This choice not only balanced computational efficiency but also allowed for the model to effectively process and learn from a diverse array of images.

Questions About nsfw_image_detection
How much GPU memory does nsfw_image_detection need?
About 0.2 GB at 16-bit and 0.1 GB at 4-bit: the weights (86M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.
What is the cheapest GPU to run nsfw_image_detection 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 nsfw_image_detection commercially?
Yes. nsfw_image_detection 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.
