Comment on Qwen3.8-2.4T

Comments

I wonder besides big labs and REALLY big corporations who can run the 2.6TB q8... I mean, the 1 bit one is 508GB. Assuming 256k context size as irrelevant at those sizes, I would need 22 AMD 7900XTX (24GB vram) to run this for the 1 bit one, and 113 for the 2.6TB

113 and assumming close to constant load and the gpus taking turns as it does on my machine with two gpus is around 113gpus*113W = 11KW... just to hold and run that one instance... and only god knows the cooling requirements...

I guess just someone on Meta/Googly/Claudy will say... oh nice, let's download it and run it...

How did the unsloth guy did to process a file that size?

You can run it for like <$50/hr. You don't need to be Meta/Googly/Claudy for that. For batch inference it makes sense to run it yourself(high latency, high throughput, predefined workload for few hours or day).

Newegg lists h200s ~40k

another 50k for the machine to put your 8 h200s in

Its pricey obviously but the 500-1M price tag is not out of the realm for most large companies.

But nobody that can run this is running it on that hardware, surely?
