Can the NVIDIA B200 run Qwen-Audio-Chat?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen-Audio-Chat on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1207k | 345.2-411.3 t/s | ~1.7-2.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1272k | 690.3-822.7 t/s | ~3.5-4.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1300k | 1232.7-1469.1 t/s | ~6.2-7.3 (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 Qwen-Audio-Chat?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1232.7-1469.1 tok/s and fits up to 1300k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~6.2-7.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1300k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
