Can the NVIDIA B200 run ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 508k | 139-165.7 t/s | ~0.7-0.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 588k | 278.1-331.4 t/s | ~1.4-1.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 623k | 496.6-591.8 t/s | ~2.5-3 (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 ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~496.6-591.8 tok/s and fits up to 623k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.5-3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 623k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
