Can the NVIDIA H200 run Llama 3.2 1B?

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

Llama 3.2 1B on the NVIDIA H200

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1919k 1424.4-1697.6 t/s ~11.9-14.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 1938k 2848.8-3395.1 t/s ~23.7-28.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 1946k 5087.1-6062.7 t/s ~42.4-50.5 (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 Llama 3.2 1B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~5087.1-6062.7 tok/s and fits up to 1946k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~42.4-50.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1946k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
