Open-weight models
Every variant below is placed on the same hardware tiers as the model catalog. The tier comes from total parameter count: at 16-bit precision each billion parameters needs roughly 2GB of GPU memory before any working space, so size decides the instance.
Hardware tiers
| Tier | Parameters | What it means | SageMaker instance | $ / hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | 0–150M | Runs on a laptop. No GPU needed. |
ml.m5.large
CPU, 2 vCPU
$0.12
|
|
| CPU or small GPU | 150M–1B | Fine on CPU for single requests. GPU if you need throughput. |
ml.m5.xlarge
CPU, 4 vCPU
$0.23
ml.g4dn.xlarge
1x T4, 16GB
$0.74
|
|
| 16GB GPU | 1B–7B | Needs a GPU. Comfortable on a T4 or L4 in half precision. |
ml.g4dn.xlarge
1x T4, 16GB
$0.74
ml.g5.xlarge
1x A10G, 24GB
$1.41

8x A100, 640GB
$31.56
ml.p5.48xlarge
8x H100, 640GB
$63.30
|
|
| Multi-GPU | 80B–+ | Will not fit on one card. Needs sharding across several. |
ml.p5.48xlarge
8x H100, 640GB
$63.30+

Approximate on-demand SageMaker real-time inference rates, us-east-1, from the AWS price list, checked 2026-10-23. Quantising to 8 or 4 bits roughly halves or quarters memory and can drop a model one tier. The multi-GPU rate is a floor: the largest models need more than one 8-GPU node at full precision.
