Can the NVIDIA B200 run XVERSE-MoE-A4.2B?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
XVERSE-MoE-A4.2B on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2544k | 695.2-828.6 t/s | ~3.5-4.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2608k | 1390.5-1657.1 t/s | ~7-8.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2637k | 2483-2959.2 t/s | ~12.4-14.8 (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 XVERSE-MoE-A4.2B?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2483-2959.2 tok/s and fits up to 2637k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~12.4-14.8 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 2637k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
