## Runs On

What it takes to serve Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 (19.9B parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

| Precision | Weights | Memory needed | Cheapest setup | Per hour | Also fits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 16-bit | 39.7 GB | 47.7 GB | 1x [MI300X](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus/mi300x) (192 GB) Vultr | $1.85 | [1x H100](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus/h100) $1.99 · [1x MI325X](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus/mi325x) $2.00 |

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.

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

Unsloth's NVFP4 build of Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B: 23.4 GB on disk across 13 files, a listing that counts 19.9B parameters, and a name that says 27B — reconcile those before you benchmark, and read the base listing this was quantized from. The memory table tops out at 47.7 GB for 16-bit, 23.8 GB for 8-bit, 11.9 GB for 4-bit, so one MI300X at $1.85 an hour holds every precision with the 262,144-token context beside it.

Apache 2.0 permits commercial use and modification with notices kept and changes stated. The base is a dense vision-language model that reads images and video, aimed at coding, research and long agentic work, so this build suits operators who want that stack at NVFP4 disk cost. No Index host serves it per token — the hourly rate is the only price — and since quantization is the point, validate quality against the BF16 base yourself.

## Model Card

By Unsloth AI, published under apache-2.0, revision f0b7c9e722f5.

[!Note] This model works with vLLM. It also works with SGLang, but only with the v0.5.19, because the lm_head is FP8 rather than 4-bit.

### Read our How to [Run Qwen3.8-27B Guide!](https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.8)

This NVFP4 quant uses Unsloth Dynamic V3.0 (preview) for SOTA quantization performance.

- Developer Role Support so Qwen3.8 can work in agentic tools like Codex and more!
- MTP for fast inference is available.
- Qwen3.8 can now be run and fine-tuned in [Unsloth Desktop](https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/desktop). [Read our guide](https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.8).
- Tool calling improvements: Makes parsing nested objects to make tool calling succeed more.
- See below for 4-bit Qwen3.8-27B run inside of Unsloth Desktop:

### Qwen3.8-27B

Following the widespread community adoption of the Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6 series, we are pleased to introduce Qwen3.8, the most capable generation in the Qwen open-model family to date.
