I thinks so yes. On the other post about it it says "Requires 80 GB GPUs right now". I don't think there's any consumer GPUs with 80 GB VRAM. I don't know if it might work if it allows offloading to RAM if someone had enough, but if it did I assume it would be really, really slow. I think we'd need to wait till they create quantized versions of the models, that have lower VRAM requirements (and are safetensors format hopefully). If there's already a smaller model you're selecting on HuggingFace then you could check the hf page to see if it says what the requirements are.

This looks like it's not usable on consumer GPUs. I put in place the smallest model on HF and still hit OOM with a 5090. Am I correct in that finding?
