Pythia-1b on the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1294k 654.1-779.5 t/s ~14.6-17.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 1310k 1308.2-1559 t/s ~29.2-34.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 1316k 2336-2784 t/s ~52.1-62.1 (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 RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell run Pythia-1b?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2336-2784 tok/s and fits up to 1316k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~52.1-62.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1316k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
