What GPU do I need to run LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.0-32B?
32.0B parameters, published in BF16. View on Hugging Face
EXAONE-4.0-32B is published by LGAI-EXAONE on Hugging Face, with 26,291 downloads and 282 likes to date. It's a Exaone4ForCausalLM model built for text-generation, published natively in BF16.
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-4.0-32B at its published (BF16) precision: 1× A100 on runpod, at $1.19/hr per GPU ($1.19/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
