Can the NVIDIA H200 run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B on the NVIDIA H200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 856k | 219-261 t/s | ~1.8-2.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 917k | 438-522 t/s | ~3.7-4.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 944k | 782.1-932.1 t/s | ~6.5-7.8 (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 DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~782.1-932.1 tok/s and fits up to 944k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~6.5-7.8 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 944k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
