# hf-mem

[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/hf-mem.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/hf-mem)

> A (simple) command-line to estimate inference memory requirements on Hugging Face

## Usage

```bash
cargo install hf-mem
```

And then:

```bash
hf-mem --model-id meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct --token ...
```

## Features

- Fast and light command-line, with a single installable binary
- Fetches just the required bytes from the `safetensors` files on the Hugging Face
Hub that contain the metadata
- Provides an estimation based on the count of the parameters on the different
dtypes
- Supports both shared i.e. `model-00000-of-00000.safetensors` and not shared i.e.
`model.safetensors` files

## What's next?

- [ ] Add tracing and progress bars when fetching from the Hub
- [ ] Support other file types as e.g. `gguf`
- [ ] Read metadata from local files if existing, instead of just fetching from
the Hub every single time
- [ ] Add more flags to support estimations assuming quantization, extended context
lengths, any added memory overhead, etc.
