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.

Memory needed

Fastest

47.1 tok/s

OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) sits at 72B parameters, which puts it above consumer hardware and into the range where a card is bought for this purpose rather than repurposed for it. 61 of the cards we track can hold it.

The smallest card that holds it is the A100 PCIe 40 GB with 40 GB, running it at Q3_K_M and producing around 24.8 tokens per second.

The quickest result comes from a B200 at around 47.1 tokens per second — its 8,000 GB/s of bandwidth is what buys that.

Where it came from

OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) was published by Mahidol University,AI Entrepreneurs Association of Thailand, in Thailand, in April 2025. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Question answering.

It builds on Qwen2.5 Instruct (72B), which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.

Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded. It is published under the openthaigpt organisation on Hugging Face.

Understanding the speeds

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range is about 16.6 tokens per second, and 51 of them clear the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed.

Every weight participates in every token here, so bandwidth is the whole story: the ranking below is effectively a ranking of memory throughput.

Its internal architecture is not on file, so memory is approximated from the parameter count and marked accordingly. Expect the real figure to differ, more so at long context.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B)

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

    Every card here has been checked against OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) — around 35.9 GB at Q3_K_M. Capacity is the gate — a card either holds it or it does not.

  2. 02

    Set the context length you will work at

    Longer conversations cost memory on top of what the weights need. Move the slider to your real working length before trusting any row for OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B).

  3. 03

    Decide how much compression you will accept

    The quantisation column varies by card, because a bigger card holds a more accurate copy of OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) — Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. Set a floor to hold the comparison at one level.

  4. 04

    Sort by speed

    Sort by speed to see how cards rank for OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B). It will not match a gaming ordering — generation is bound by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 47.1 tok/s.

  5. 05

    Check the fit verdict before buying

    Tight means OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) loads and works, with no room to raise the context later. Comfortable means you can. The difference matters more than a few tokens per second.

  6. 06

    Check the card from the other side

    Every card name links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across the whole model catalogue. Worth a look before buying for OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) alone — a card is usually bought for more than one model.

Answers

OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) — common questions

01

What is OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) used for?

OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Question answering. 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.

02

Where can I download OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B)?

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

03

Can I run OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) if it does not fit in my GPU?

Only by offloading, which is usually a false economy: the part in system memory drags the whole thing down — the nearest miss we calculate is short by 15.5 GB. Our figures for OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) assume it is fully resident.

04

Would two GPUs run OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 61 cards already able to run OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) alone, the case for pairing is weak.

05

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B)?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold, and OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) appears at 5 different compression levels across the cards that fit it. Bigger cards get the more accurate version.

06

How accurate are these OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) 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 28–75 tok/s on the B200 rather than a single number.

07

What GPU do I need to run OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B)?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) is the A100 PCIe 40 GB, with 40 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q3_K_M using about 35.9 GB, and produces roughly 24.8 tokens per second. 61 cards in total can run it.

08

How fast is OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 47.1 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 51 of the cards that can run OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) clear that.

09

How much VRAM does OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) need?

About 35.9 GB at Q3_K_M 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.

10

Is OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) open source?

Its weights are published, so OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) 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.

11

How many parameters does OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) have?

OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) has 72B parameters. 72b. 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.

12

Who created OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B)?

OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) was published by Mahidol University,AI Entrepreneurs Association of Thailand, based in Thailand, categorised as academia.

13

When was OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) released?

OpenThaiGPT 1.6 / OTG-1.6 (72B) was published in April 2025.
