Can B200 192GB SXM run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B?
NVIDIA · 192 GB HBM3e · 8000 GB/s bandwidth ·
DeepSeek · 32.8B · model ctx up to 128K
Yes — the B200 192GB SXM (192 GB HBM3e) can run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 25.6 GB VRAM (weights 18.04 GB + KV cache 6.56 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 192 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 155.2 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 73.16 GB) also fits, at ≈ 42.7 tok/s (estimated). Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s.

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).
