Can the NVIDIA B200 run ChatGLM3-6B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ChatGLM3-6B on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1245k | 486.7-580 t/s | ~2.4-2.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1290k | 973.3-1160 t/s | ~4.9-5.8 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1311k | 1738.1-2071.4 t/s | ~8.7-10.4 (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 ChatGLM3-6B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1738.1-2071.4 tok/s and fits up to 1311k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~8.7-10.4 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1311k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
