What it costs to run — $0 markup

• On your own machine — $0. Runs free if you have about 45 GB of VRAM (45GB at 544x960; ~60GB at 720p; fp8 quant brings it toward 24GB-class cards with offload), via ComfyUI / Diffusers.
• Rent a GPU — from $1.39/hr. Fits A100 80GB at the direct vendor price ($0 markup) — pay only for the minutes you generate.
• Download the weights — free. Open weights at tencent/HunyuanVideo.

Note: generative-media models are billed per image / per second / per minute on hosted services — not per token. Running locally or on your own rented GPU is usually far cheaper and keeps your data on your machine.
