What GPU do I need to run sensenova/SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT?
17.5B parameters, published in BF16. View on Hugging Face
Set up SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoTSenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT is published by sensenova on Hugging Face, with 6,733 downloads and 200 likes to date. It's a NEOChatModel model built for any-to-any, 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 requires a quantized checkpoint actually published for this model, check its Hugging Face page before relying on this row.
Cheapest way to run SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT at its published (BF16) precision: 1× A40 on runpod, at $0.440/hr per GPU ($0.440/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
