Can the NVIDIA L40S 48GB run ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B?

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

Q4 yes 103k 40.2-47.9 t/s ~1.9-2.2 (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 ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~40.2-47.9 tok/s and fits up to 103k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.9-2.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 103k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
