Deep dive
Notes, sources, and the full write-up
DA3METRIC-LARGE is an open-weight depth estimation model from depth-anything, published on Hugging Face in November 2025. It has 330M parameters and is released under the apache-2.0 license.
HardwareLink to this section
At full FP16 precision the weights need about 1 GB of memory; 8-bit quantization brings that to roughly 1 GB. That is small enough for most consumer GPUs, Apple Silicon Macs, and many CPUs.

Frequently asked
Quick answers to common questions
How much VRAM does DA3METRIC-LARGE need?
DA3METRIC-LARGE with 0.33B parameters needs approximately 1 GB at Q4_K_M quantization. Use our VRAM calculator for an exact estimate.
Is DA3METRIC-LARGE better than other depth-anything models?
DA3METRIC-LARGE has 0.33B parameters with 8,192 context - a strong choice for depth-estimation.
What license is DA3METRIC-LARGE under?
DA3METRIC-LARGE is released under the apache-2.0 license, making it suitable for most commercial and personal projects.
What hardware runs DA3METRIC-LARGE well?
With 0.33B parameters, DA3METRIC-LARGE requires adequate VRAM. High-end GPUs like the RTX 4090 (24GB), RTX 5090 (32GB), or Mac Studio with unified memory are good options. Check our hardware directory for specific recommendations.
What is the best quantization for DA3METRIC-LARGE?
Q4_K_M is the recommended sweet spot - ~98% of FP16 quality at ~27% of the size. Q5_K_M (~1 GB) is an option if you have spare VRAM. Use our VRAM calculator to compare.
