# Can I run Stable Video Diffusion (img2vid-XT) on Apple M1 (8GB)?

Updated: 2026-06-15

**No, not enough memory.** Needs ~8 GB at fp16 + offload, but only ~5.5 GB is usable on Apple M1 (8GB). With aggressive CPU offload it can run on as little as ~8 GB, much slower.

- Model: 1.5B UNET video model, peak ~8 GB VRAM at fp16 + offload
- Device: 8 GB unified, ~5.5 GB usable
- All components resident (no offload): ~22 GB
- Offload floor (slow): ~8 GB
- Tools: ComfyUI, Diffusers
- License: Stable Video Diffusion Community License (commercial use: conditional)
