Ankh_large on the NVIDIA L40S 48GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 593k 166-197.8 t/s ~7.7-9.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 622k 332-395.6 t/s ~15.4-18.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 635k 592.8-706.5 t/s ~27.4-32.7 (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 L40S 48GB run Ankh_large?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~592.8-706.5 tok/s and fits up to 635k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~27.4-32.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 635k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
