Can the NVIDIA B200 run NLLB?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
NLLB on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 202k | 53.6-63.9 t/s | ~0.3-0.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 368k | 107.2-127.7 t/s | ~0.5-0.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 441k | 191.3-228 t/s | ~1-1.1 (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 NLLB?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~191.3-228 tok/s and fits up to 441k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1-1.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 441k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
