Can the NVIDIA B200 run ESM1-43M?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ESM1-43M on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2671k | 68544.6-81690.1 t/s | ~342.7-408.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2672k | 137089.2-163380.3 t/s | ~685.4-816.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2672k | 244802.1-291750.5 t/s | ~1224-1458.8 (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 ESM1-43M?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~244802.1-291750.5 tok/s and fits up to 2672k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1224-1458.8 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 2672k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
