## Runs On

What it takes to serve Qwen3.8-27B-ULT3-QNext-Stage1.1 (27.8B 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 | 55.6 GB | 66.7 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 7, 2026.

## Questions About Qwen3.8-27B-ULT3-QNext-Stage1.1

### How much GPU memory does Qwen3.8-27B-ULT3-QNext-Stage1.1 need?

About 66.7 GB at 16-bit and 16.7 GB at 4-bit: the weights (27.8B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

### What is the cheapest GPU to run Qwen3.8-27B-ULT3-QNext-Stage1.1 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.
