Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run Kimi Dev 72b?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~35-41.8 tok/s and fits up to 97k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.7-0.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 97k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
