It's about 16 GiB at Q8 quants (combining both the image and language parts). (Meaning, community quantized models from HuggingFace).

I think it will technically run on anything that has enough memory. I just tried it on a standard laptop (dual-channel DDR5), and it took about 3 minutes for a 512x512. If you'd want to run it at interactive speeds, you would want a GPU (one which fits this in VRAM).

You mean besides stable-diffusion.cpp ?
