Data graphic: Qwen 3.8 27B leads OCRBench dense multi-layout OCR with 885 points, ahead of Claude 3.5 Sonnet 788 , Llama 3.2 90B Vision 762 , GPT-4o 736 and Llama 3.2 11B Vision 684 , 149 points above GPT-4o; it also leads DocVQA 96.4% and MathVista 74.8% but trails Claude 3.5 Sonnet on ChartQA 89.5% vs 90.8% and MMMU-Pro 51.1% vs 54.7% , and at FP8 it needs about 27 GB of VRAM and runs at 85–120 tokens per second. Verdict: self-host above 100,000 pages a month or under an air-gap mandate, and keep frontier APIs for intermittent or open-domain work.

Data graphic: serving Qwen 27B on one 80 GB H100 or A100, where FP8 fits about 48 streams at 8k context against about 11 at FP16, because the weights shrink from 54.0 GB at FP16 to 27.0 GB at FP8 14.85 GB at INT4 . At concurrency 64 with FP8, SGLang does 1,980 tok/sec, TensorRT-LLM 1,920 and vLLM 1,650, and the verdict picks SGLang for agentic and JSON-heavy work, TensorRT-LLM for strict latency SLAs and vLLM for fast cloud-native deploys.

Data graphic: fine-tuning Qwen 2.5 32B with Unsloth and 4-bit QLoRA takes 20.8GB of VRAM for the whole training pipeline, against upwards of 120GB for standard 16-bit fine-tuning, leaving 3.2 GB free on a 24 GB GPU. The budget splits into about 14.8 GB of 4-bit base weights, 2.8 GB of activations and KV cache, 2.2 GB of CUDA context, 0.65 GB of optimizer states and 0.35 GB of LoRA adapters, alongside hyperparameter targets such as LoRA rank 16 or 32 and a learning rate of 1e-4 to 2e-4.
