Can the NVIDIA B200 run StableLM-2-1.6B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
StableLM-2-1.6B on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2622k | 1775.7-2116.3 t/s | ~8.9-10.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2647k | 3551.4-4232.5 t/s | ~17.8-21.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2658k | 6341.8-7558 t/s | ~31.7-37.8 (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 StableLM-2-1.6B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~6341.8-7558 tok/s and fits up to 2658k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~31.7-37.8 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 2658k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
