Can the NVIDIA H100 PCIe 80GB run NLLB?

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

NLLB on the NVIDIA H100 PCIe 80GB

FP16 no โ€” โ€” โ€”
Q8 yes 54k 26.8-31.9 t/s ~0.5-0.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 127k 47.8-57 t/s ~1-1.1 (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 NLLB?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~47.8-57 tok/s and fits up to 127k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1-1.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 127k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
