Can the NVIDIA B200 run ProGen2-base?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ProGen2-base on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2649k | 3822-4555 t/s | ~19.1-22.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2661k | 7644-9109.9 t/s | ~38.2-45.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2666k | 13650-16267.8 t/s | ~68.2-81.3 (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 ProGen2-base?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~13650-16267.8 tok/s and fits up to 2666k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~68.2-81.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 2666k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
