Can the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run StableLM-Base-Alpha-7B?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

StableLM-Base-Alpha-7B on the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 445k 102.5-122.2 t/s ~2.1-2.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 498k 205-244.3 t/s ~4.2-5.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 521k 366.1-436.3 t/s ~7.6-9 (slow)

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 StableLM-Base-Alpha-7B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~366.1-436.3 tok/s and fits up to 521k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~7.6-9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 521k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
