What GPU do I need to run Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP8?
180.0B parameters, published in F8_E4M3. View on Hugging Face
Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP8 is published by Qwen on Hugging Face, with 130,451 downloads and 178 likes to date. It's a Qwen4ExpForConditionalGeneration model built for image-text-to-text, 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 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP8 at its published (F8_E4M3) precision: 7× RTX 4080 Super on simplepod, at $0.380/hr per GPU ($2.66/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
