Telnyx offers an inference API that hosts open-weight large language models like GLM-5.2, Kimi K3, and MiniMax-M3 on globally distributed, dedicated GPU infrastructure. The platform provides OpenAI-compatible endpoints, enabling developers to switch from proprietary models and save up to 75% on token costs while maintaining sub-100 millisecond latency across multiple regions. Features include automatic scaling, in-region data privacy, function calling, structured output generation, and integrated fine-tuning, all managed through a single API key alongside Telnyx's broader communications suite.
- Models are selected for specific use cases: Kimi K3 for real-time voice, GLM-5.2 for development, and MiniMax-M3 for cost efficiency.
- Pricing starts at $0.21 per 1M tokens with no hidden GPU rental fees or compute surcharges.
- The API supports fine-tuning via the same infrastructure and requires only a base URL change for migration.
- Telnyx integrates inference with its existing voice, telephony, and storage products under one billing account.

This guide outlines the most effective approach for running large language models locally on hardware with 24GB of VRAM. It advises moving away from squeezing extremely large parameter models toward using high-performance 20B to 35B class models that allow room for context and fast processing speeds. The article explains how memory is allocated across model weights, KV cache, and runtime overhead while recommending specific top performers:
* Qwen3.6-27B for agentic coding
* Qwen3.6-35B-A3B MoE for speed in general conversation
* Gemma 4 26B for multimodal and multilingual support
* Mistral Small 3.2 24B as a low-latency assistant
* gpt-oss-20b for structured reasoning tasks
* DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B for deep logical reasoning through chain of thought
