Questions
What is the largest model that fits on one NVIDIA H100 NVL 94GB?
Of the models we track, Mistral Medium 3.5 128B (128B) fits on a single 94 GB card in 4-bit with one user at 8K context. More users or longer context need memory for the KV cache, so leave headroom.
How fast is NVIDIA H100 NVL 94GB for LLM inference?
Generation speed is mostly set by memory bandwidth: 3900 GB/s here. Each token reads the active weights once, so a model with 8 GB of active weights tops out near 488 tokens per second per stream before efficiency losses; batching many users raises total throughput.
Is NVIDIA H100 NVL 94GB a good choice for on-prem AI?
