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.

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 caveat: requires a quantized checkpoint actually published for this model, check its Hugging Face page before relying on this row.

Cheapest way to run Ling-3.0-flash at its published (BF16) precision: 6× A40 on runpod, at $0.440/hr per GPU ($2.64/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
