Can the NVIDIA B200 run Llama 3.2 11B?

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

Llama 3.2 11B on the NVIDIA B200

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 940k 275.5-328.3 t/s ~1.4-1.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 1004k 550.9-656.6 t/s ~2.8-3.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 1033k 983.8-1172.5 t/s ~4.9-5.9 (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 Llama 3.2 11B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~983.8-1172.5 tok/s and fits up to 1033k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.9-5.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1033k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
