FAQ

Can the NVIDIA H200 run gemma 4 12B it?

Yes. The NVIDIA H200's 141GB of VRAM is enough to run gemma 4 12B it at f32 quantization (49.0GB required).

What's the best quantization to use?

f32 is the highest-precision quantization that fits in your 141GB. It uses about 49.0GB of memory and 50.5GB recommended for comfortable inference.

What if I need more headroom for context length?

KV cache memory grows with context length. The numbers above assume a baseline 2K-4K context. For long-context use (32K+), add another 2-6GB depending on the model architecture.
