Can I Run Devstral on NVIDIA H100 80GB (PCIe)?
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated September 11, 2026
Yes, but it's tight — Devstral-2 123B at Q4_K_M needs 77.9 GB at 8K context (74.3 GB weights + 3.6 GB KV cache/overhead), leaving ~2.1 GB of the NVIDIA H100 80GB (PCIe)'s 80 GB, at ~21 tok/s (est.), with room for up to 8K context.

Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache, on an estimated architecture — this model publishes no config we can read. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 80 GB. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4_K_M on the NVIDIA H100 80GB (PCIe): 8K 77.9 GB · 32K 86.6 GB ✗ · 128K 121.2 GB ✗. Past 32K it no longer fits 80 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
No compatible GPU? Devstral on 16 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs, but it is tight.
