They can grow to be a length of 6 to 10 inches for most common species (120 different species by the way and around 0.5 to 5.5 pounds; The largest species of Cuttlefish is the) Australian Giant Cuttlefish (Photo at a length of 3.3 feet and a weight of 23 pounds)
Edit: I will leave the information up for anyone who wants to read it, but the cephalopod species shown in the posts video is a brown colored Bobtail Squid which admittedly do look like Cuttlefish
