Can the NVIDIA B200 run Mistral Small v24.09?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Mistral Small v24.09 on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 500k | 132.7-158.2 t/s | ~0.7-0.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 584k | 265.5-316.4 t/s | ~1.3-1.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 621k | 474-564.9 t/s | ~2.4-2.8 (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 Mistral Small v24.09?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~474-564.9 tok/s and fits up to 621k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.4-2.8 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 621k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
