Can I Run Devstral Small 2505 24B on NVIDIA H100 80GB (PCIe)?
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated August 15, 2026
Yes. Devstral Small 2505 24B needs 16.6 GB at 8K context (14.5 GB weights + 2.1 GB KV cache/overhead) at Q4_K_M and the NVIDIA H100 80GB (PCIe) has 80 GB, leaving about 63.4 GB of headroom, at roughly 90 tok/s (estimated) with room for up to 128K of context.

Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache. 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 16.6 GB · 32K 20.7 GB · 128K 36.8 GB. Every window this model publishes still fits 80 GB.
What to do next
Nothing to change — run it at Q4_K_M. If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.
