Can the NVIDIA B200 run Baichuan 1-13B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Baichuan 1-13B on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 907k | 220.1-262.3 t/s | ~1.1-1.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 988k | 440.3-524.7 t/s | ~2.2-2.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1024k | 786.2-937 t/s | ~3.9-4.7 (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 Baichuan 1-13B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~786.2-937 tok/s and fits up to 1024k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.9-4.7 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1024k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
