Can the NVIDIA B200 run Aria?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Aria on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 478k | 117.3-139.8 t/s | ~0.6-0.7 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 573k | 234.5-279.5 t/s | ~1.2-1.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 615k | 418.8-499.1 t/s | ~2.1-2.5 (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 B200 run Aria?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~418.8-499.1 tok/s and fits up to 615k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.1-2.5 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 615k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
