Can the NVIDIA B200 run Guanaco-65B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Guanaco-65B on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 138k | 44.9-53.5 t/s | ~0.2-0.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 336k | 89.8-107.1 t/s | ~0.4-0.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 423k | 160.4-191.2 t/s | ~0.8-1 (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 Guanaco-65B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~160.4-191.2 tok/s and fits up to 423k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.8-1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 423k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
