EXAONE-3.5-7.8B-Instruct-AWQ

by LG AI Research LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-3.5-7.8B-Instruct-AWQ

EXAONE-3.5-7.8B-Instruct-AWQ is an open-weight model for text generation from LG AI Research, released under other. It has 7.8B parameters and a 32,768-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 18.8 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 1M downloads a month.

We introduce EXAONE 3.5, a collection of instruction-tuned bilingual (English and Korean) generative models ranging from 2.4B to 32B parameters, developed and released by LG AI Research.

Model Card

We introduce EXAONE 3.5, a collection of instruction-tuned bilingual (English and Korean) generative models ranging from 2.4B to 32B parameters, developed and released by LG AI Research. EXAONE 3.5 language models include: 1) 2.4B model optimized for deployment on small or resource-constrained devices, 2) 7.8B model matching the size of its predecessor but offering improved performance, and 3) 32B model delivering powerful performance. All models support long-context processing of up to 32K tokens. Each model demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in real-world use cases and long-context understanding, while remaining competitive in general domains compared to recently released models of…
