Can the NVIDIA H200 run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B?

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

DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B on the NVIDIA H200

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1902k 984.3-1173 t/s ~8.2-9.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 1929k 1968.5-2346.1 t/s ~16.4-19.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 1941k 3515.2-4189.4 t/s ~29.3-34.9 (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-Qwen-1.5B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~3515.2-4189.4 tok/s and fits up to 1941k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~29.3-34.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1941k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
