Name: EXAONE-3.5-7.8B-Instruct
Author: LGAI-EXAONE

We introduce EXAONE 3.5, a collection of instruction-tuned bilingual (English and Korean) generative models ranging from 2.4B to 32B parameters, developed and released by LG AI Research. EXAONE 3.5 language models include: 1) 2.4B model optimized for deployment on small or resource-constrained devices, 2) 7.8B model matching the size of its predecessor but offering improved performance, and 3) 32B model delivering po...

Can you run it?

Estimated VRAM at 8K context unless noted. Pick your hardware to see the verdict per quantization.

File	Quant	Size	Est. VRAM	Verdict on RTX 4090 · 24 GB
model.safetensors	f32	31.3 GB	36.1 GB	❌ Won’t fit
model.safetensors (bf16, full)	bf16 + 32K ctx	31.3 GB	39.6 GB	❌ Won’t fit

Estimate: file size × 1.1 + KV cache at 8K + 0.5 GB overhead. Not a benchmark — how we calculate this.
