Can the NVIDIA H100 PCIe 80GB run Athene-70B?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

Q8 yes 6k 20.9-24.9 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 100k 37.2-44.4 t/s ~0.7-0.9 (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 H100 PCIe 80GB run Athene-70B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~37.2-44.4 tok/s and fits up to 100k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.7-0.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 100k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
