Can the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB run Kimi Linear?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Kimi Linear on the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | — | — | — |
| Q8 | yes | 74k | 50.9-60.7 t/s | ~0.6-0.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 138k | 91-108.4 t/s | ~1.1-1.3 (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 Kimi Linear?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~91-108.4 tok/s and fits up to 138k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.1-1.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 138k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
