Can the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB run VILA1.5-13B?

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

VILA1.5-13B on the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 275k 55.2-65.7 t/s ~1.1-1.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 358k 110.3-131.5 t/s ~2.2-2.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 394k 197-234.8 t/s ~3.9-4.6 (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 SXM4 80GB run VILA1.5-13B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~197-234.8 tok/s and fits up to 394k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.9-4.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 394k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
