Can the NVIDIA B200 run CodeT5-large?

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

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 2649k 3792.2-4519.5 t/s ~19-22.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 2661k 7584.4-9039 t/s ~37.9-45.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 2666k 13543.6-16141 t/s ~67.7-80.7 (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 CodeT5-large?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~13543.6-16141 tok/s and fits up to 2666k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~67.7-80.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 2666k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
