Use-case guide · Text classification

Should you pick RTX A5000 for text classification?

RTX A5000 has 24 GB VRAM. Whether it's the right fit for text classification depends on your model size, expected QPS, and budget. Below is what we're seeing in production.

VRAM + model fit

RTX A5000 fits models up to ~17B parameters in BF16 comfortably with room for KV-cache. For text classification specifically, you'll want to leave headroom for context length growth.
