Mixtral 8x7B GPU Requirements
Mixtral 8x7B usually starts around 24-32 GB in INT4, 45-55 GB in INT8, and 80-96 GB in FP16. A safe production starting point is A100 80GB or 2x 48GB-class GPUs.
Approximate starting range before runtime headroom.
Useful for accuracy-first deployments.
A strong default when you want one safe answer fast.
Direct answer
The fast answer for Mixtral 8x7B
Mixtral 8x7B usually starts around 24-32 GB in INT4, 45-55 GB in INT8, and 80-96 GB in FP16. A safe production starting point is A100 80GB or 2x 48GB-class GPUs.
Mixtral 8x7B fits most cleanly when you start from VRAM, not brand names.
Mixtral 8x7B usually needs about 24-32 GB in INT4, 45-55 GB in INT8, and 80-96 GB in FP16. A safe starting route is A100 80GB or 2x 48GB-class GPUs.
For Mixtral 8x7B, the route decision starts with memory fit. The model usually needs about 24-32 GB in INT4, 45-55 GB in INT8, and 80-96 GB in FP16 before you add runtime headroom.
- Safe starting GPU: A100 80GB or 2x 48GB-class GPUs
- Best general production routes: A100 80GB, H100 80GB, 2x RTX 6000 Ada
- Add headroom for runtime behavior instead of treating the model size as the whole answer.
VRAM table
Mixtral 8x7B memory and route profile
Mixtral 8x7B is primarily used for moe inference with stronger quality than smaller dense models. Most teams start with the quickest safe answer for memory fit, then compare which production routes make sense.
The ranges on this page are practical starting points for planning. Actual deployment requirements still depend on runtime overhead, batching, and the execution framework.
Execution notes
What changes the route in production
A memory-fit answer is only useful if the route is healthy. Pages like this should explain that fit, latency, and route quality all matter once the model goes live.
For Mixtral 8x7B, the most relevant follow-up pages are the cost page and the run-without-GPU page because those are the next practical questions most teams ask.
- Higher-quality routing-sensitive endpoints
- Teams comparing dense versus MoE tradeoffs

FAQ
Frequently asked
What GPU do I need for Mixtral 8x7B?
A safe starting answer is A100 80GB or 2x 48GB-class GPUs. Lighter quantized routes can use less memory, but that is the clean default most teams need first.
Can Mixtral 8x7B run on a consumer GPU?
In many cases yes, especially with quantization. The safer answer still depends on the exact precision, runtime overhead, and traffic shape you expect in production.
Why should this page link to pricing and run-without-GPU pages?
Because the next user question after requirements is usually either cost or whether the model can be run remotely without buying hardware directly.
