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 Oct 9, 2026.

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

A second third-party NVFP4 quantization of Qwen3.8-27B: 26.4 GB published, 17.6B parameters by the hub record, Apache 2.0, 262,144-token context. RadixArk's NVFP4 build of the same base is 21.9 GB — the packages differ by 4.5 GB, so these are not the same recipe republished. The architecture table prices the underlying model at 42.3 GB at 16-bit and 10.6 GB at 4-bit; one MI300X at $1.85 an hour covers serving either way.

Neither quant ships evaluations on our record, so the choice is empirical: benchmark both against the FP16 original on your workload and keep the one inside your accuracy budget. The surrounding rail is crowded — uncensored derivatives and EXL2/EXL3 repacks of Qwen3.8-27B are listed nearby — useful if you want a specific serving runtime, but provenance vetting falls to you. For most teams the rule is simple: smallest file that passes your eval.

RadixArk

The RadixArk Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 model is the quantized version of Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B. The quantization was produced at RadixArk using NVIDIA Model Optimizer, following a mixed NVFP4 W4A4 recipe. Run on SGLang: launch command and per-platform recipes in the Qwen3.8-27B cookbook. This model is not owned or developed by RadixArk. It is a quantized derivative of Qwen's model; see the upstream Qwen3.8-27B model card for the source model's capabilities, training information, limitations, and license.

GLM-5.3-Flash-NestQuant-1.5-4bit

Jarrel Seah

GLM-5.3-Flash with its routed experts quantized to NestQuant, a nested two-level format. Each expert has a 1.5-bit base plus a residual plane that lifts it to 4 bits. At serving time an expert moves from 1.5 bit to 4 bit by loading its residual plane on top of the base, and the base bytes stay the same. This build targets a 128 GB Mac with 96 GB usable for weights, KV cache and runtime. The native vision tower is included, so the model still takes images. Status: TODO. Encoding in progress. This repo cannot be loaded with stock transformers, vLLM or MLX. The serving kernel and loader will be published separately. - 67 of 288 experts per layer (23%) run at 4 bit. The rest run at 1.5 bit.…

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…
