Hugging Face Transformers:
- The
transformers
library itself is around 400-500 MB depending on the models you download (like GPT-2, which is around 500 MB).
- The
AI Text Classifier (Third-Party APIs):
- Most API-based tools don’t require large downloads, as they handle processing on their servers. You'll likely only need the API client, usually under 1 MB.
If you’re looking for a lightweight option, third-party APIs or OpenAI’s API might be your best bet. For local use, Hugging Face and DetectGPT involve bigger downloads.
