Estimated cost to self-host Command A+
Command A+ has 218B parameters, about 25B active per token. At 4-bit it needs about 131 GB of GPU memory, at 8-bit 262 GB and at BF16 523 GB, counting 20% on top of the weights for KV cache and runtime overhead.

Memory is parameters × bytes per weight at each precision, plus 20% for KV cache and runtime overhead. Rentals are the cheapest cards that hold it, at provider-weighted median on-demand prices for the week of August 17, 2026, consumer cards included, in nodes of up to 8 GPUs; a fit with under 15% headroom is marked tight. A month is 720 hours. See the best-value GPUs guide for the same table across models, and cloud GPU pricing for every card.
