jina-clip-v2: GPU memory to fine-tune

Fine-tuning jina-clip-v2 at batch 1 takes about 2.12 GB of GPU memory for a full fine-tune (fits one T4 16 GB), and 0.68 GB with LoRA r=16 on a bf16 base (fits one T4 16 GB). Estimated from the model's structure, reading the config under transformers semantics, not measured. What fits on which card.

Reconstructed from its own config.json with no weights read. 121K downloads on Hugging Face.

Our count against the checkpoint

The left number comes from the graph. The right one is the number of scalars in the published weight files. Nothing on this page was tuned to make them agree.

custom-code This repository ships its own modeling code (`auto_map`), so `config.json` names a class in the repo rather than an architecture `transformers` defines. The graph below is what those config keys mean under `transformers` semantics, which is not necessarily what the repo's own file builds. A gap here is a statement about what we read, not about the checkpoint.

What it costs to run

Cost is a roofline estimate on the priced GPU for 10 epochs at batch 32 over 50,000 samples (assumed; no dataset attached).

Training: the input shape in the structure table, AdamW with bf16 autocast, SDPA attention (no score matrix stored), 1.15x headroom on every card. Full fine-tune holds weights, gradients and optimizer state (1.2 x 16 bytes per parameter) plus activations. LoRA is r=16 on every linear layer but the head, base frozen in bf16 (2 bytes per parameter), adapters at full AdamW state, same activations. A two-card split is a contiguous layer cut (pipeline parallel), computed only where one card cannot hold batch 1.

These are estimates from the graph, not measurements. Against measured runs, held out by architecture, the estimate flagged 113 of the 131 jobs that did not fit their card and said "fits" on the other 18. Every measured run.

What the verifier says

warn"LayerNorm_12_2" (layerNorm) is the last layer before Output. Normalizing the raw logits constrains the output range and breaks standard loss functions. Fix: Move normalization before the final Linear/Conv layer.
bn-at-output

infoAt 12 stacked attention layers, residual-branch outputs add up; unscaled init lets activation variance grow with depth. GPT-2/LLaMA-family models scale the residual projections by depth (N(0, 0.02 / √(2L))). Fix: Scale residual output projections by depth: nn.init.normal_(w, std=0.02 / math.sqrt(2 * n_layers))
