What GPU do I need to run z-lab/Qwen3.5-9B-DFlash?
1.3B parameters, published in BF16. View on Hugging Face
Qwen3.5-9B-DFlash is published by z-lab on Hugging Face, with 27,396 downloads and 43 likes to date. It's a DFlashDraftModel 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 Qwen3.5-9B-DFlash at its published (BF16) precision: 1× RTX 3070 on simplepod, at $0.050/hr per GPU ($0.050/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
