What is inside the container

A .nbx container packs every part of CogVideoX-2b — 3 components with weights, graphs and runtime settings — so one file is all the runtime needs.

Memory needed

The weights of CogVideoX-2b take 12.8 GiB in float16. 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 12.9 GiB (13,827,390,501 bytes).
