What LLMs can eight H100 SXM GPUs run?

Eight H100 SXM GPUs give a model 640 GB (8 × 80 GB) of memory and 26,800 GB/s of bandwidth in total. Of the 40 open models tracked here, 37 fit at Q4_K_M with an 8,192-token context. The speeds assume tensor parallelism, as in vLLM or SGLang; llama.cpp splits layers across cards by default and then writes at about the speed of one card.

Models that fit on 8× H100 SXM

The most precise weights that still fit with 8K tokens of context and one request, the memory that takes, the longest context at that precision and the writing speed. Bigger models come first.

Too big for 8× H100 SXM

How many H100 SXM cards these need at Q4_K_M in one tensor-parallel group; some need more than 8.

How these numbers are worked out

Memory is the weights at each precision plus the KV cache for 8,192 tokens in FP16 and runtime overhead (0.5 GB plus 10%), computed from each model's files on Hugging Face with the LLM VRAM Calculator. Speed is estimated from memory bandwidth and the parameters read per token with the LLM Speed Calculator. Both tools take any other model from Hugging Face.
