Frequently asked questions

Can Matrix-Game be used in a commercial project?

Yes. License: MIT (1.0 and 2.0), Apache 2.0 (3.0). It allows commercial use, but it is still worth having a lawyer review the license before launch.

What hardware does Matrix-Game need?

At minimum: One GPU with 16–80 GB — mid-size versions. Without a GPU the model is not practical. You can calculate the exact VRAM for your model size and context in the hardware calculator.

Does Matrix-Game support Russian?

Language does not matter for this model: it does not work with text.

Where can I download Matrix-Game and what does it cost?

The Matrix-Game weights are open and free to download. You only pay for the hardware it runs on and for the setup. Source links are at the bottom of this page.
