Why these numbers
A second opinion on the data
Hardware footprint
Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 is a 46.7028B-parameter model that needs 94 GB VRAM at bf16 when self-hosted at native precision (needs 2x H100). Quantization to int8 typically halves the VRAM requirement; int4 quarters it, at modest accuracy cost. 9 GPU rental providers in nfer's index currently offer hardware that fits this model at native precision.
Cheapest path today
For Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1: The cheapest API offering is DeepInfra at $0.54/1M input + $0.54/1M output tokens. The cheapest GPU rental that fits the model is Verda on V100 at $1.10/hour. The break-even point between paying per token and renting a GPU depends on your daily volume — see the chart above.
Licensing and fit
Released under the apache-2.0 license, Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 ships with a context length not specified; open-source weights are publicly available. European model — relevant for EU-sovereignty filtering.
FAQ
Common questions
What's the cheapest way to host Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1?
The cheapest API option for Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 in nfer's index is DeepInfra at $0.540/1M input + $0.540/1M output tokens. For self-hosted workloads, the cheapest GPU rental that fits is Verda on V100 at $1.10/hour. The right choice depends on your daily token volume — see the break-even chart on this page.How much VRAM does Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 need?
Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 94 GB at native precision; roughly 47 GB at int8 and 24 GB at int4. Native precision is bf16. Quantization roughly halves (int8) or quarters (int4) the VRAM footprint at modest accuracy cost.Can I use Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 commercially?
Yes — released under the apache-2.0 license, which permits commercial use.What's the difference between API and GPU rental for Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1?
Token-priced API providers (like DeepInfra) bill per million input/output tokens — best for low or bursty volume. Renting a GPU (e.g. Verda at $1.10/hour) is a flat ~$792.00/month regardless of usage — better economics once you sustain enough tokens per day to justify the fixed cost. The break-even chart on this page shows the exact crossover point.Is Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 available with EU data residency?
Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 is a European model (origin: FR). 4 EU-owned providers offer hosting in nfer's index — filter on EU sovereignty in the comparator to see them.
