Can the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB run ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B?

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

ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B on the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 115k 58.2-69.4 t/s ~0.7-0.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 195k 116.5-138.8 t/s ~1.4-1.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 230k 208-247.8 t/s ~2.5-3 (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 SXM5 80GB run ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~208-247.8 tok/s and fits up to 230k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.5-3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 230k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
