SAVRN Model Hub · Kimi-K3
Kimi-K3 GPU Requirements
Kimi-K3 needs about 6.7 TB of GPU memory at 16-bit, 3.3 TB at 8-bit and 1.7 TB at 4-bit: its 2.8T parameters plus a 20% working margin. None of the 9 accelerators the SAVRN Index prices holds it on one card at 16-bit.
Every Accelerator, Every Precision
How many cards of each accelerator the SAVRN Index prices it takes to hold Kimi-K3, and what that many cards cost an hour at the lowest listed on-demand price. Memory needed: 6.7 TB at 16-bit, 3.3 TB at 8-bit, 1.7 TB at 4-bit.

One copy of the model on rented cards, busy or idle. Serving more users at once takes more copies or more memory for their contexts.
Questions
How much VRAM does Kimi-K3 need?
About 6.7 TB at 16-bit; about 3.3 TB at 8-bit; about 1.7 TB at 4-bit: the weights plus 20% for the runtime and a short context. A long context needs more.
Can Kimi-K3 run on a single H100?
No. An H100 has 80 GB, and Kimi-K3 needs 1.7 TB even at 4-bit, so it takes more than one card.
Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Sep 18, 2026. Setups beyond eight cards, one server, are not listed.
