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.

Training compute
The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

52B activated parameters 6ND = 6*52*10^9*7*10^12 = 2.184 × 10^24 They also suggest more precise formula to calculate MoE compute budget: 9.59ND + 2.3 × 10^8D = 9.59*52*10^9*7*10^12 + 2.3 × 10^8 × 7*10^12 = 3.49237×10^24 which seems closer to projected compute on Figure 3

The extremes
The ten fastest GPUs that run Hunyuan-Large
Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.
The smallest GPUs that still run Hunyuan-Large
The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.
What the numbers mean
What it takes to run this model
Minimum card
Radeon Instinct MI325X
Memory needed
213.4 GB
Fastest
20.1 tok/s
At 389B parameters, Hunyuan-Large is beyond what any single graphics card holds. Running it means either splitting it across several cards or renting hardware built for the job — 4 of the cards we track can hold it on their own, and all of them are datacentre parts.
The smallest card that holds it is the Radeon Instinct MI325X with 256 GB, running it at IQ4_XS and producing around 12.5 tokens per second.
A B300 is the fastest we calculate for it: about 20.1 tokens per second, from 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth.
What this model is
Hunyuan-Large was published by Tencent, in China, in November 2024. The organisation is categorised as industry.
It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Question answering, Code generation, Translation.
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.
What decides the speed
Half the cards that hold it manage more than 16.1 tokens per second, and 4 exceed reading speed outright.
Being dense, it reads all of itself per token, which is why the ordering by speed below follows the ordering by memory bandwidth so closely.
Without the attention layout on record, the memory column is an approximation. It is close enough to choose hardware by, and least reliable at long context.
Training and provenance
Training it took roughly 3.5 × 10²⁴ FLOP of computation — a measure of what producing the model cost, not of how fast it answers.
It was trained on about 7,000,000,000,000 tokens of text.
Its inclusion criterion is training cost.
Step by step
How to choose a GPU for Hunyuan-Large
The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.
-
01
Start from the memory column
Look at what Hunyuan-Large actually needs — around 213.4 GB at IQ4_XS. No amount of processing power compensates for a card that cannot hold it.
-
02
Decide how long your conversations run
Longer conversations cost memory on top of what the weights need. Move the slider to your real working length before trusting any row for Hunyuan-Large.
-
03
Decide how much compression you will accept
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 Hunyuan-Large by squeezing it further than you would want.
-
04
Compare tokens per second, not specifications
Ranking by tokens per second for Hunyuan-Large follows memory bandwidth, not core counts, which is why the B300 tops it at 20.1 tok/s.
-
05
Check the fit verdict before buying
Tight means Hunyuan-Large 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.

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 Hunyuan-Large is settled.
Answers
Hunyuan-Large — common questions
Who created Hunyuan-Large?
Hunyuan-Large was published by Tencent, based in China, categorised as industry.
When was Hunyuan-Large released?
Hunyuan-Large was published in November 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
What is Hunyuan-Large used for?
Hunyuan-Large works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Question answering, Code generation, Translation. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
Where can I download Hunyuan-Large?
The weights for Hunyuan-Large are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.
How much compute was used to train Hunyuan-Large?
Around 3.5 × 10²⁴ 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.
Can I run Hunyuan-Large if it does not fit in my GPU?
It can be split between the card and system memory, but Hunyuan-Large generates painfully slowly that way — the nearest miss we calculate is short by 63.2 GB. Nothing on this page assumes offloading.
Would two GPUs run Hunyuan-Large faster?
A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 4 cards already able to run Hunyuan-Large alone, the case for pairing is weak.
Why does the quantisation differ between cards for Hunyuan-Large?
A larger card holds a more accurate copy. Across the cards that run Hunyuan-Large, 2 compression levels are used; the floor control above pins it to one.
How accurate are these Hunyuan-Large speed estimates?
They are calculated from specifications rather than measured, and each carries a range — 12–32 tok/s on the B300, for instance. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.
What GPU do I need to run Hunyuan-Large?
The smallest card in our catalogue that holds Hunyuan-Large is the Radeon Instinct MI325X, with 256 GB of memory. It runs the model at IQ4_XS using about 213.4 GB, and produces roughly 12.5 tokens per second. 4 cards in total can run it.
How fast is Hunyuan-Large on a GPU?
It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B300 at about 20.1 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 4 of the cards that can run Hunyuan-Large clear that.
How much VRAM does Hunyuan-Large need?
About 213.4 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.
Is Hunyuan-Large open source?
Its weights are published, so Hunyuan-Large 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.
How many parameters does Hunyuan-Large have?
Hunyuan-Large has 389B parameters. "a total of 389 billion parameters and 52 billion activation parameters". 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.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
