Recommended hardware
Use only the listed certified runtime configuration with the exact checkpoint precision. The recommendation engine checks weight memory, KV cache, runtime overhead, safety headroom, GPU architecture and topology before ranking rentable and reference hardware.
Reference only
The official license permits commercial use; its obligations still apply.
License and self-hosting considerations
The full 0B resident weight set must fit across the selected GPUs. Context and concurrency add KV-cache memory; MoE active parameters do not replace resident-weight memory.
Step-Audio-2-mini is published under apache-2.0. The release-scoped official license link and verification date are retained with the catalogue record.
Commercial Use Allowed. The official license permits commercial use; its obligations still apply.
