Too big for 32 GB (rent a bigger card instead): what it costs to run GLM-4.5-Air (MoE), what it costs to run Llama 4 Scout 17B-16E (MoE), what it costs to run gpt-oss 120B (MoE), what it costs to run NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super 120B-A12B (MoE).

AI video on the V100 SXM2
Alibaba's Wan 2.2 is an open video model you can run yourself in ComfyUI. With 32 GB the V100 SXM2 fits:
- Wan 2.2 14B at 640x640 with fp8 weights (24 GB and up, per Runpod's Wan 2.2 guide)
- Wan 2.2 5B, with ComfyUI's native offloading (8 GB and up, per ComfyUI's Wan 2.2 docs)
What each setup needs, the cheapest card to rent and what one clip costs: cloud GPUs for ComfyUI with Flux and Wan 2.2. Against an app or an API: AI video cost per clip, app vs API vs rented GPU. Rather not run a model yourself? Hosted video models such as Seedance, Veo and Hailuo are compared in Kling AI alternatives, priced per clip.
