Computational Requirements for Kronos-base vs Kronos-mini Inference: Hardware Specifications and Performance Guide

April 10, 2026 shiyu-coder/Kronos ↗

Kronos-mini requires approximately 0.2 GB VRAM with 4.1M parameters and supports a 2048-token context, while Kronos-base demands roughly 2 GB VRAM with 102.3M parameters and a 512-token context, making the mini variant 5–10× faster for edge deployment.

The shiyu-coder/Kronos repository provides two pre-trained inference variants optimized for different hardware constraints. Understanding the computational requirements for Kronos-base vs Kronos-mini inference is essential for selecting the appropriate model
