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.
- INT4 start
- 24-32 GB
- Approximate starting range before runtime headroom.
- FP16 start
- 80-96 GB
- Useful for accuracy-first deployments.
- Safe GPU floor
- A100 80GB or 2x 48GB-class GPUs
- A strong default when you want one safe answer fast.
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.
Use these ranges as practical planning estimates. Your actual 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

Take Mixtral 8x7B from research into a real route
Once the fit is clear, price the route and test one workload so you can compare the theory against live capacity.
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.
How can I estimate the cost of running Mixtral 8x7B remotely?
Use the pricing estimator after reviewing the requirements. It can help you compare a remote route with buying or managing hardware directly.
