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

48.4 tok/s

FoxBrain sits at 70B 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 entry point is the A100 PCIe 40 GB: 40 GB of memory, Q3_K_M compression, roughly 25.5 tokens per second.

A B200 is the fastest we calculate for it: about 48.4 tokens per second, from 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

About this model

FoxBrain was published by Foxconn, in Taiwan, in March 2025. The organisation is categorised as industry.

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

It is derived from Llama 3.1-70B rather than trained from scratch, which is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

Published weights mean the model runs on your machine rather than someone else's, which is what makes the hardware question below answerable at all. It is published under the FoxconnAI organisation on Hugging Face.

How fast it runs, and why

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range is about 17.1 tokens per second, and 50 of them clear the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed.

It is a dense model, so every parameter is read for every token produced. That makes speed track memory bandwidth almost exactly — a card with twice the bandwidth generates roughly twice as fast.

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 FoxBrain

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 FoxBrain actually needs — around 34.9 GB at Q3_K_M. No amount of processing power compensates for a card that cannot hold it.

  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 FoxBrain.

  3. 03

    Set a quality floor

    The quantisation column varies by card, because a bigger card holds a more accurate copy of FoxBrain — Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. Set a floor to hold the comparison at one level.

  4. 04

    Rank by throughput rather than spec sheet

    Sort by speed to see how cards rank for FoxBrain. It will not match a gaming ordering — generation is bound by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 48.4 tok/s.

  5. 05

    Read the fit column last

    The fit column separates cards that just manage FoxBrain from those with room to spare. Buy for the second if the context might grow.

  6. 06

    Check the card from the other side

    Following a card through to its own page shows every other model it can hold, which is the question that follows once FoxBrain is settled.

Answers

FoxBrain — common questions

01

How accurate are these FoxBrain speed estimates?

These are estimates with real error bars. The fastest result here, 29–77 tok/s on the B200, could reasonably land anywhere in its published range depending on which runtime you use.

02

What GPU do I need to run FoxBrain?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds FoxBrain is the A100 PCIe 40 GB, with 40 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q3_K_M using about 34.9 GB, and produces roughly 25.5 tokens per second. 61 cards in total can run it.

03

How fast is FoxBrain on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 48.4 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 50 of the cards that can run FoxBrain clear that.

04

How much VRAM does FoxBrain need?

About 34.9 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.

05

Is FoxBrain open source?

Its weights are published, so FoxBrain 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.

06

How many parameters does FoxBrain have?

FoxBrain has 70B parameters. 70B. 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.

07

Who created FoxBrain?

FoxBrain was published by Foxconn, based in Taiwan, categorised as industry.

08

When was FoxBrain released?

FoxBrain was published in March 2025.

09

What is FoxBrain used for?

FoxBrain works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Question answering, Mathematical reasoning. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

10

Where can I download FoxBrain?

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

11

Can I run FoxBrain 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 14.2 GB. Our figures for FoxBrain assume it is fully resident.

12

Would two GPUs run FoxBrain faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 61 cards already able to run FoxBrain alone, the case for pairing is weak.

13

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for FoxBrain?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold, and FoxBrain appears at 5 different compression levels across the cards that fit it. Bigger cards get the more accurate version.
