Can the NVIDIA H200 run AraBERT LArge v2?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
AraBERT LArge v2 on the NVIDIA H200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1945k | 4722.4-5628 t/s | ~39.4-46.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1951k | 9444.7-11256.1 t/s | ~78.7-93.8 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1953k | 16865.6-20100.1 t/s | ~140.5-167.5 (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 H200 run AraBERT LArge v2?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~16865.6-20100.1 tok/s and fits up to 1953k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~140.5-167.5 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1953k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
