Set up Qwen3.8-Fla…t-Uncensored-FP8Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-FP8 is published by orcarouter on Hugging Face, with 1,874 downloads and 16 likes to date. It's a Qwen4ExpForConditionalGeneration model built for image-text-to-text, published natively in F8_E4M3, and gated: you'll need to accept the model's terms on Hugging Face before downloading weights.
VRAM required & cheapest live GPU fit
Required VRAM = weight size at each precision, plus a fixed overhead for KV-cache, activations, and fragmentation. Full formula and assumptions: methodology.
| Precision | Weight size | Required VRAM | Cheapest live fit | GPUs needed | Est. $/hr (full fit) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP8 (native) | 167.6 GB | 201.2 GB | RTX 4090 | 5 | $2.20/hr |
| INT4 (quantized) | 83.8 GB | 100.6 GB | RTX 5060 Ti | 7 | $0.770/hr |
A GPU is only matched to a row if its hardware supports that precision, and the primary recommendation is always a single-GPU fit when one exists.
INT4 requires a quantized checkpoint actually published for this model, check its Hugging Face page before relying on this row.
Cheapest way to run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-FP8 at its published (F8_E4M3) precision: 5× RTX 4090, at $0.441/hr per GPU ($2.20/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-FP8: common questions
Can Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-FP8 run on a single GPU?
No. At FP8 (native) it needs 201.2 GB of VRAM, more than a single 32 GB desktop card holds. The cheapest capable card in the live feed is a 48.0 GB RTX 4090, and it takes 5 of them.
Do I need approval to download Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-FP8?
Yes. orcarouter gates this repository on Hugging Face, so you have to accept its terms with a signed-in account before the weights will download. It does not change the 201.2 GB the model needs once you have them.
Is Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-FP8 already quantized?
Yes. It is published in FP8, one byte per parameter, so the 201.2 GB figure is already a quantized footprint rather than a full-precision one. Only INT4 goes below it, at 100.6 GB. A GPU without FP8 tensor cores cannot run it as published, which is why cards here are matched on precision support and not on VRAM alone.
How many GPUs do I need to run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-FP8?
5 at FP8 (native). It needs 201.2 GB of VRAM and the cheapest capable live offer is a 48.0 GB RTX 4090, so 5 of them come to $2.20/hr in total.
