Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-FP8 is published by ornith-ai on Hugging Face, with 185,378 downloads and 23 likes to date. It's a Qwen3_5MoeForConditionalGeneration model built for text-generation, published natively in F8_E4M3.

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 Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-FP8 at its published (F8_E4M3) precision: 1× L40 on massecompute, at $0.772/hr per GPU ($0.772/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
