Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

What it takes to run this model

Minimum card

RTX A4500

Memory needed

17.9 GB

Fastest

533 tok/s

With 35.3B parameters, Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B lands in the range a serious desktop card can handle once the weights are compressed. 132 of the cards we track can run it.

The smallest card that holds it is the RTX A4500 with 20 GB, running it at IQ4_XS and producing around 105 tokens per second.

Top of the range is the B200, at roughly 533 tokens per second thanks to 8,000 GB/s of bandwidth.

Where it came from

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B was published by Alibaba, in China, in September 2025. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Multimodal, Language, Vision, Speech, Video, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Question answering, Visual question answering, Image captioning, Video description, Speech recognition (ASR), Speech synthesis, Speech-to-text, Text-to-speech (TTS).

The weights being open is what puts this page in the calculator rather than only in the catalogue: it is a model you can actually hold. It is published under the Qwen organisation on Hugging Face.

Understanding the speeds

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range is about 104.0 tokens per second, and 132 of them clear the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed.

This is a mixture-of-experts model, which routes each token through only part of itself. It therefore generates far faster than its total size suggests — while still needing every parameter resident in memory, so it is quick without being cheap to hold.

Memory here is estimated from size rather than computed from the architecture, which is not recorded for this model — the numbers are indicative rather than exact.

How it was trained

The training run consumed about 3.6 × 10²² FLOP. That figure describes the cost of creating it and has no bearing on how quickly it generates text.

The training set ran to roughly 2,000,000,000,000 tokens.

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: sOTA improvement.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

  1. 01

    Read the memory figure first

    Look at what Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B actually needs — around 17.9 GB at IQ4_XS. No amount of processing power compensates for a card that cannot hold it.

  2. 02

    Match the context to your actual use

    Set the context to what you will actually use. The cache grows with the conversation, and it is the usual reason Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B stops fitting a card that seemed fine.

  3. 03

    Choose how far you will compress it

    Each card runs the least-compressed copy it can hold — IQ4_XS on the smallest card that fits. Setting a floor drops the cards that only manage Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B by squeezing it further than you would want.

  4. 04

    Rank by throughput rather than spec sheet

    The speed ordering for Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B is effectively an ordering by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 533 tok/s.

  5. 05

    Look at the headroom, not just the fit

    The fit column separates cards that just manage Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B from those with room to spare. Buy for the second if the context might grow.

  6. 06

    See what else that card runs

    Every card name links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across the whole model catalogue. Worth a look before buying for Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B alone — a card is usually bought for more than one model.

Answers

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B — common questions

01

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B?

A larger card holds a more accurate copy. Across the cards that run Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B, 5 compression levels are used; the floor control above pins it to one.

02

How accurate are these Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B speed estimates?

Every figure is derived from memory bandwidth and model size, not benchmarked. That is why each is published as a range such as 320–853 tok/s on the B200 rather than a single number.

03

What GPU do I need to run Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B is the RTX A4500, with 20 GB of memory. It runs the model at IQ4_XS using about 17.9 GB, and produces roughly 105 tokens per second. 132 cards in total can run it.

04

How fast is Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 533 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 132 of the cards that can run Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B clear that.

05

How much VRAM does Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B need?

About 17.9 GB at IQ4_XS compression, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

06

Can I run Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 24 GB runs it at Q4_K_M, using about 20.0 GB and generating roughly 206 tokens per second — a tight fit.

07

Is Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B open source?

Its weights are published, so Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

08

How many parameters does Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B have?

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B has 35.3B parameters. Audio Encoder AuT 650M Vision Encoder SigLIP2-So400M 540M Thinker MoE Transformer 30B-A3B Talker MoE Transformer 3B-A0.3B MTP Dense Transformer 80M Code2wav ConvNet 200M. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

09

Who created Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B?

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B was published by Alibaba, based in China, categorised as industry.

10

When was Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B released?

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B was published in September 2025.

11

What is Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B used for?

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B works in Multimodal, Language, Vision, Speech, Video, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Question answering, Visual question answering, Image captioning, Video description, Speech recognition (ASR), Speech synthesis, Speech-to-text, Text-to-speech (TTS). A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

12

Where can I download Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B?

Its weights are published under the Qwen organisation on Hugging Face. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.

13

How much compute was used to train Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B?

Around 3.6 × 10²² FLOP. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

14

Can I run Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B if it does not fit in my GPU?

It can be split between the card and system memory, but Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B generates painfully slowly that way — the nearest miss we calculate is short by 5.6 GB. Nothing on this page assumes offloading.

15

Would two GPUs run Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 132 cards already able to run Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B alone, the case for pairing is weak.
