Memory needed

The weights of parakeet-tdt-1.1b take 4.0 GiB in float32. That is the floor for the memory the runtime has to place, spread over the devices it finds; activations come on top and grow with the size and length you ask for. A measured peak per device class is not published for this model yet.

Verify what you downloaded

Every download carries its SHA-256, and the file endpoint sends it in the X-NBX-SHA256 header. The container is 4.0 GiB (4,324,139,049 bytes).
