| INT8 (8-bit) | 78.3 GB | 55% | ✅Runs well |
| INT4 / Q4 (4-bit) | 44.0 GB | 31% | ✅Runs easily |
Frequently asked
- Can H200 run Qwen2.5-72B?
- Not at fp16 — Qwen2.5-72B needs about 146.7 GB while H200 has 141 GB. It fits at INT4 quantization (44.0 GB) with some accuracy trade-off.
- How much VRAM does Qwen2.5-72B use?
- About 146.7 GB at fp16, 44.0 GB at INT4 (for a 4K context, batch size 1). Longer contexts add to KV cache size; larger batches increase activations.
- What's the fastest way to run Qwen2.5-72B on H200?
- Use a production inference engine like vLLM, SGLang, or TensorRT-LLM with paged attention — they cut KV cache 2–3× vs the naive estimate and batch multiple requests efficiently. For H200, enable Flash Attention 2.
- Where can I rent a H200?
- GPUniq aggregates live H200 offers from verified providers. You can deploy an instance in about a minute and pay hourly with no commitment.
