Can the NVIDIA B200 run ESM2-8M?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ESM2-8M on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2672k | 365000-435000 t/s | ~1825-2175 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2672k | 730000-870000 t/s | ~3650-4350 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2672k | 1303571.4-1553571.4 t/s | ~6517.9-7767.9 (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 ESM2-8M?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1303571.4-1553571.4 tok/s and fits up to 2672k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~6517.9-7767.9 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.
