Can the NVIDIA L40S 48GB run ESM1-85M?

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

ESM1-85M on the NVIDIA L40S 48GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 648k 3705.8-4416.5 t/s ~171.6-204.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 650k 7411.5-8832.9 t/s ~343.1-408.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 650k 13234.8-15773 t/s ~612.7-730.2 (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 ESM1-85M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~13234.8-15773 tok/s and fits up to 650k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~612.7-730.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 650k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
