EXAONE-3.5-32B-Instruct is published by LGAI-EXAONE on Hugging Face, with 36,125 downloads and 130 likes to date. It's a ExaoneForCausalLM model built for text-generation, published natively in F32.

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 EXAONE-3.5-32B-Instruct at its published (F32) precision: 3× RTX 8000 on akash, at $0.221/hr per GPU ($0.661/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
