Can the NVIDIA H200 run Galactica?

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

Q8 yes 25k 29.2-34.8 t/s ~0.2-0.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 186k 52.1-62.1 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (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 Galactica?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~52.1-62.1 tok/s and fits up to 186k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.4-0.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 186k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
