Hy3 GPU requirements
Hy3 has 299B parameters. To serve it, plan for about 717 GB of GPU memory in 16-bit, 359 GB in 8-bit or 179 GB in 4-bit, including about 20% for the KV cache and activations.
It is a mixture of experts: 192 experts, 8 of them active for each token. All of them stay in GPU memory, so plan memory for all 299B parameters.
What it takes to serve it
GPU memory to run it for inference, with the smallest GPU setup that holds it and the lowest price on Arrakis right now.
| Precision | Memory and the smallest setup |
|---|---|
| 16-bit | 717 GB: 4 × B200, from $27.16 per hour for all 4 |
| 8-bit | 359 GB: 2 × B200, from $13.58 per hour for all 2 |
| 4-bit | 179 GB: one B200, from $6.79 per GPU-hour |
What it takes to fine-tune it
QLoRA trains adapters on a 4-bit frozen model, LoRA on a 16-bit one, and full fine-tuning updates every weight. Figures are before activations, which grow with batch size and sequence length.
| Method | Memory and the smallest setup |
|---|---|
| QLoRA | 209 GB: one B300, from $4.60 per GPU-hour |
| LoRA | 717 GB: 4 × B200, from $27.16 per hour for all 4 |
| Full fine-tuning | 4,781 GB: more than one 8-GPU machine |

Deploy it on Arrakis
Open Models in the console, choose vLLM, SGLang or llama.cpp, and rent a GPU it fits on. You get an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with its own API key, and root SSH to the machine. Or run it yourself on any machine with enough GPU memory:
vllm serve tencent/Hy3 --tensor-parallel-size 4
