Peak VRAM for serving this model, computed by lib/deployment/hardware.ts from weights + KV cache + 15% runtime overhead. Inputs: 72.7B parameters, 8,192 tokens of context (assumed — none fetched yet), 4 concurrent requests (assumed).

  For 32B models with long context, or 70B-class models on two cards. The band covers one to two GPUs and the gap between committed-use and on-demand rates. Check that the GPU family you need exists in the region you are required to stay in before committing to a design.

  Sizing basis

  • Weights: 72.7B parameters × 2 bytes per parameter (fp16) = 145.41 GB.
  • No model configuration was supplied, so the KV cache uses the size heuristic for this band: 0.328 MB per token, from Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct (80 × 8 × 128).
  • KV cache: 0.328 MB per token × 8,192 tokens of context × 4 concurrent requests = 10.74 GB, sized for every user holding a full context at once.
  • Overhead: 15% of weights plus KV cache for the runtime, activations and memory fragmentation = 23.42 GB.
  • GB means 10⁹ bytes, matching how GPU memory is advertised.
  • KV cache held at fp16 (2 bytes per element); quantising weights does not by itself quantise the cache.
  • Peak figure, not average: prefix caching and paged attention usually keep real usage lower, while speculative decoding, CUDA graphs and a second resident model push it higher.
  • "Concurrent" counts requests generated at the same instant, not people: 4 simultaneous requests is the worst case this estimate is built on — measure yours before buying.

  indicative build cost for the complete machine, USD, Aug 2026 — verify with a local supplier

  For a 70B-class model at fp16/int8 with tensor parallelism, or several mid-size models served side by side. Needs real data-centre conditions: 4–8 kW of power, front-to-back cooling and a rack. The price band is wide because A100 and H100 are several times apart.
