| B200 180 GB | fits | 176 GB |
Estimates, not measurements: the weights are the build's file size; one 1024×1024 image needs about 5 GB of working memory (larger images more). diffusers can also place a pipeline's parts on separate cards (device_map) — not estimated here. Counted memory is 92 % of what CUDA reports for the card.
From the model card
This is the fp8_e4m3fn quantized version of Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 for lower memory usage and faster inference (compatible with ComfyUI) approx. 20GB VRAM

How it works
Running it yourself
Rent a machine by the hour — ComfyUI is installed on it. Open ComfyUI through the tunnel, then Templates → Qwen Image Edit 2511 Int8: Image Edit, and choose this model's file in its model loader.
# on your rented machine (the ssh line is on its page in the console)
# get REPO FILE FOLDER: one file into /workspace/models/FOLDER, where ComfyUI loads it from
get() { hf download "$1" "$2" --local-dir /workspace/hf-files && mkdir -p "/workspace/models/$3" && mv "/workspace/hf-files/$2" "/workspace/models/$3/$4"; }
# the model (19.0 GB)
get drbaph/Qwen-Image-Edit-2511-FP8 qwen_image_edit_2511_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors diffusion_models
# what the template also loads “Qwen Image Edit 2511 Int8: Image Edit” (9.8 GB)
