Can the NVIDIA L40S 48GB run Pharia-1-LLM-7B?

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

Pharia-1-LLM-7B on the NVIDIA L40S 48GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 218k 44.8-53.4 t/s ~2.1-2.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 272k 89.6-106.7 t/s ~4.1-4.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 295k 159.9-190.6 t/s ~7.4-8.8 (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 Pharia-1-LLM-7B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~159.9-190.6 tok/s and fits up to 295k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~7.4-8.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 295k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
