Can H200 141GB SXM5 run Qwen3.5-9B?

NVIDIA · 141 GB HBM3e · 4800 GB/s bandwidth · Alibaba · 8.95B · model ctx up to 256K

Yes — the H200 141GB SXM5 (141 GB HBM3e) can run Qwen3.5-9B. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 7.71 GB VRAM (weights 4.92 GB + KV cache 1.79 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 141 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 341.3 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 20.69 GB) also fits, at ≈ 93.9 tok/s (estimated). 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	6.82 GB	Yes	341.3 est.
Q4	8K default	7.71 GB	Yes	341.3 est.
Q4	32K	13.08 GB	Yes	341.3 est.
FP16	4K	19.79 GB	Yes	93.9 est.
FP16	8K default	20.69 GB	Yes	93.9 est.
FP16	32K	26.06 GB	Yes	93.9 est.

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).
