Can the NVIDIA B200 run VILA1.5-13B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
VILA1.5-13B on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 904k | 216.4-257.9 t/s | ~1.1-1.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 987k | 432.8-515.8 t/s | ~2.2-2.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1023k | 772.8-921 t/s | ~3.9-4.6 (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 VILA1.5-13B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~772.8-921 tok/s and fits up to 1023k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.9-4.6 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1023k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
