## Runs On

What it takes to serve Anansi-35B-A3B (34.7B parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the [SAVRN Index](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus), read Oct 23, 2026.

## Model Card

By Matthew Andrews, published under apache-2.0, revision e346076f363c.

Anansi-35B-A3B balances good instruct following, narrative reasoning, and sweet prose. Specifically for my 8gb potato, because I can't run the ~30b dense models, but maybe it can be good for your potato too?

Anansi was created by combining the logical trengths of two great models via a 35/65 DARE-TIES merge, followed by a targeted (LM) head tensor interpolation to graft on better prose.

## Questions About Anansi-35B-A3B

### How much GPU memory does Anansi-35B-A3B need?

About 83.2 GB at 16-bit and 20.8 GB at 4-bit: the weights (34.7B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

### What is the cheapest GPU to run Anansi-35B-A3B on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

[CS](https://savrn.com/model-publishers/bahushruth)

Uncensored version of Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B with refusal behavior removed via abliteration (norm-preserving orthogonalization). Zero refusals on harmful prompts. No false refusals on harmless prompts. Abliteration identifies the "refusal direction" in the model's residual stream — the linear direction that activates when the model decides to refuse — and surgically removes it from all output projection weights using norm-preserving orthogonalization. 1. Collect residual stream activations (last token position) for 512 harmful + 512 harmless prompts across all 40 layers 2. Compute mean difference vector per layer → this is the "refusal direction" candidate 3. Score layers by…

Curated and trained by Eric Hartford, Lucas Atkins, and Fernando Fernandes, and Cognitive Computations This is our most spectacular outcome ever. FFT, all parameters, 16bit. 77.4 MMLU on 34b. And it talks like a dream. Although the max positional embeddings is 4k, we used rope theta of 1000000.0 and we trained with sequence length 8k. We plan to train on the upcoming 32k version as well. Our appreciation for the sponsors of Dolphin 2.9.1: - Crusoe Cloud - provided excellent on-demand 8xH100 node - OnDemand - provided inference sponsorship This model is based on Yi-1.5-34b, and is governed by apache 2.0 license.
