Can the NVIDIA B200 run StableLM-Base-Alpha-7B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
StableLM-Base-Alpha-7B on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1231k | 423.8-505.1 t/s | ~2.1-2.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1284k | 847.6-1010.1 t/s | ~4.2-5.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1307k | 1513.5-1803.8 t/s | ~7.6-9 (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-Base-Alpha-7B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1513.5-1803.8 tok/s and fits up to 1307k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~7.6-9 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1307k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
