Questions
How much VRAM does Step-5-Preview-NVFP4-Local need?
About 812 GB at 16-bit; about 406 GB at 8-bit; about 203 GB at 4-bit: the weights plus 20% for the runtime and a short context. A long context needs more.
What is the cheapest GPU setup to run Step-5-Preview-NVFP4-Local?
At 16-bit, 3x MI355X from $7.77 an hour, at the lowest on-demand price the SAVRN Index lists.
Can Step-5-Preview-NVFP4-Local run on a single H100?
No. An H100 has 80 GB, and Step-5-Preview-NVFP4-Local needs 203 GB 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 Oct 20, 2026. Setups beyond eight cards, one server, are not listed.
