## Runs On

What it takes to serve videomae-base-finetuned-kinetics (87M 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 25, 2026.

## SAVRN's Notes on videomae-base-finetuned-kinetics

VideoMAE classifies short video clips into the 400 action classes of Kinetics, from playing guitar to riding a bike. Nanjing University's group pretrained it with masked autoencoding for 1,600 epochs, then fine-tuned it. It has 87M parameters.

The license is CC-BY-NC-4.0, which rules out commercial use. For research and prototypes it is a clean baseline; for a product, look for permissively licensed video models or fine-tune your own.

## Model Card

VideoMAE model pre-trained for 1600 epochs in a self-supervised way and fine-tuned in a supervised way on Kinetics-400. It was introduced in the paper VideoMAE: Masked Autoencoders are Data-Efficient Learners for Self-Supervised Video Pre-Training by Tong et al. and first released in this repository. Disclaimer: The team releasing VideoMAE did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team. VideoMAE is an extension of Masked Autoencoders (MAE) to video. The architecture of the model is very similar to that of a standard Vision Transformer (ViT), with a decoder on top for predicting pixel values for masked patches. Videos are presented to…

## Questions About videomae-base-finetuned-kinetics

### How much GPU memory does videomae-base-finetuned-kinetics need?

About 0.2 GB at 16-bit and 0.1 GB at 4-bit: the weights (87M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

### What is the cheapest GPU to run videomae-base-finetuned-kinetics 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.

[Star Duong](https://savrn.com/model-publishers/star092304)

This repository houses a fine-tuned VideoMAE (Base) model optimized for multi-class Vietnamese Sign Language Recognition (VSLR). The model architecture adapts self-supervised video representations to accurately classify short video clips of sign gestures into distinct Vietnamese text labels. The model processes short video sequences by partitioning them into spatiotemporal patches, mapping sequential gestures (such as "Ăn", "Bệnh viện", "Xin lỗi") to their corresponding semantic classes. The training routine was monitored closely across key evaluation metrics to prevent overfitting while maximizing classification accuracy on the validation split. The plot below illustrates the progression…
