Question 1

How much VRAM does Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local need?

Accepted Answer

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local (96.5B) requires approximately 215.66439048573375 GB of VRAM at full precision (FP16), 107.8 GB at 8-bit quantization (Q8), and 53.9 GB at 4-bit quantization (Q4). The actual VRAM usage may be slightly higher due to KV cache and runtime overhead.

Question 2

What GPUs can run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local?

Accepted Answer

We have 2 compatible GPUs indexed for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local, including MI350X, MI325X. Compatibility is determined by whether the GPU's VRAM can fit the model's memory footprint, potentially using quantization to reduce memory usage.

Question 3

What is the cheapest GPU to run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest GPU to run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local in the cloud is the MI350X at $5.49/hr.  Prices reflect the lowest on-demand rate across cloud providers.

Question 4

Can Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local run on consumer hardware?

Accepted Answer

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local requires approximately 215.66439048573375 GB of VRAM at FP16, and even with 4-bit quantization (Q4) it needs about 53.9 GB. This exceeds the 24 GB available on the highest-end consumer GPU (RTX 4090), so Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local requires datacenter or cloud GPUs.

Question 5

What quantization options are available for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local?

Accepted Answer

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local supports the following quantization levels: FP16 (full precision): ~215.66439048573375 GB, Q8 (8-bit): ~107.8 GB, Q6 (6-bit): ~80.9 GB, Q4 (4-bit): ~53.9 GB. Lower quantization reduces VRAM usage at the cost of some quality loss. Q8 offers a good balance between quality and memory savings, while Q4 provides maximum compression.
