What GPU do I need to run RedHatAI/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1?
46.7B parameters, published in BF16. View on Hugging Face
Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 is published by RedHatAI on Hugging Face, with 11,179 downloads and 1 like to date. It's a MixtralForCausalLM 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 Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 at its published (BF16) precision: 7× RTX 5060 Ti on simplepod, at $0.100/hr per GPU ($0.700/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
