Can A100 80GB SXM4 run Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B?

NVIDIA · 80 GB HBM2e · 2039 GB/s bandwidth · Mistral · 128.0B · model ctx up to 256K

No — Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B at Q4 needs ≈ 84.2 GB even at 4K context, beyond the A100 80GB SXM4's 80 GB HBM2e. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 19.7 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 282.6 GB — does not fit on this card. Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	84.2 GB	No	26.1 est.
Q4	8K default	97.0 GB	No	19.7 est.
Q4	32K	173.8 GB	No	6.1 est.
FP16	4K	269.8 GB	No	0.7 est.
FP16	8K default	282.6 GB	No	0.6 est.
FP16	32K	359.4 GB	No	—

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
