What it takes to serve Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 (18.2B 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, read Sep 18, 2026.

SAVRN's Notes on Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4

RadixArk did not train this model. It took Qwen's Qwen3.8-27B, ran it through NVIDIA Model Optimizer with an NVFP4 W4A4 recipe, and published it as a pre-quantized checkpoint for agents and chatbots on SGLang. On disk that is 21.9 GB of weights; our 4-bit row puts the memory need at 10.9 GB on one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 per hour on-demand. The 262,144-token context, not the weights, will fill that card, and it reads images as well as text.

The listing carries Apache 2.0, patent grant included, but RadixArk's note points to the upstream Qwen3.8-27B card for the source model's license, so read both first. Reconcile the count too: the name says 27B while the checkpoint reports 18.2B parameters, and the upstream is on our hub. Last, confirm your serving stack handles NVFP4 W4A4 on the card you own before banking on the 4-bit footprint.

Questions About Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4

How much GPU memory does Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 need?

About 43.6 GB at 16-bit and 10.9 GB at 4-bit: the weights (18.2B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 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.

Can I use Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 commercially?

Yes. Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 is released under Apache License 2.0. The Apache License 2.0 is a permissive open-source license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution. It requires keeping the license and copyright notices and any NOTICE file, stating significant changes, and it includes an express patent grant from contributors.

What is Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4's context length?

262,144 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.

Local Inference Lab

WORK IN PROGRESS A mixed NVFP4/MXFP8 quantization-aware distillation of Qwen3.8-27B, trained for one epoch. The student learns from the original BF16 teacher while its MLP weights are quantized in the forward pass. Distillation updates the MLP weights and text normalization weights to account for quantization error. This is a trained distillation checkpoint, not a post-training conversion of the original weights. Attention/GDN projections and the LM head were frozen in their MXFP8 representations during distillation. Packed NVFP4 and MXFP8 weights reconstruct to the same BF16 weight values used by the student during training. The tokenizer, chat template, generation configuration and…

Gemma is a family of open models built by Google DeepMind. Gemma 4 models are multimodal, handling text and image input (with audio supported on E2B, E4B, and 12B) and generating text output. This release includes open-weights models in both pre-trained and instruction-tuned variants. Gemma 4 features a context window of up to 256K tokens and maintains multilingual support in over 140 languages. Featuring both Dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures, Gemma 4 is well-suited for tasks like text generation, coding, and reasoning. The models are available in five distinct sizes: E2B, E4B, 12B, 26B A4B, and 31B. Their diverse sizes make them deployable in environments ranging from…
