Can the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB run GPT-NeoX-20B?

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

GPT-NeoX-20B on the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 122k 61.1-72.9 t/s ~0.7-0.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 199k 122.3-145.7 t/s ~1.5-1.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 232k 218.3-260.2 t/s ~2.6-3.1 (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 SXM5 80GB run GPT-NeoX-20B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~218.3-260.2 tok/s and fits up to 232k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.6-3.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 232k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
