What LLMs fit on an NVIDIA B200?

Which of 22 open LLMs fit one B200, and how many it takes for the rest, at FP16, FP8 and 4-bit.

Size your own scenario

Short answer

One NVIDIA B200 (180 GB) runs 18 of the 22 open LLMs sized here at 4-bit, 17 at FP8 and 15 at FP16, for one user at an 8K context. At FP8: every model except Llama 3.1 405B, Llama 4 Maverick, Qwen3-235B-A22B, DeepSeek-V3 / R1 and GLM-5.3. The largest that fits one GPU is Qwen3-235B-A22B (235.1B parameters), at 4-bit. Within one 8-GPU server, tensor parallelism runs all of them at FP8. Llama 3.3 70B takes 1 GPU at FP16 or FP8.

Updated . One user, 8K context, KV cache at FP16, plus 10% headroom for activations and the runtime.

Counts use a tensor-parallel size (TP) that divides the model's attention heads, within one 8-GPU server. Below each count is the memory needed: (weights + KV cache) ÷ 0.9. Capacity only: speed depends on memory bandwidth and the serving stack.

Memory is step one. Throughput, latency, power and the network decide the real build.

Questions about the B200

What LLMs can run on an NVIDIA B200?

For one user at an 8K context, these fit one B200. At 4-bit: every model except Llama 3.1 405B, Llama 4 Maverick, DeepSeek-V3 / R1 and GLM-5.3. At FP8: every model except Llama 3.1 405B, Llama 4 Maverick, Qwen3-235B-A22B, DeepSeek-V3 / R1 and GLM-5.3. At FP16/BF16: every model except Llama 3.1 405B, Llama 4 Scout, Llama 4 Maverick, Qwen3-235B-A22B, DeepSeek-V3 / R1, gpt-oss-120b and GLM-5.3.

What is the largest LLM a B200 can run?

Of the models sized here, for one user at an 8K context: at 4-bit, Qwen3-235B-A22B (235.1B parameters, 145 GB); at FP8, gpt-oss-120b (116.8B parameters, 130 GB); at FP16, Kolibri-1 (78.1B parameters, 174 GB). Mixture-of-experts models count every expert, because all of them must be in memory.

How many NVIDIA B200 GPUs does Llama 3.3 70B need?

For one user at an 8K context it needs 160 GB at FP16/BF16, 81 GB at FP8 and 46 GB at 4-bit: 1 GPU at FP16, FP8 or 4-bit.

Can an NVIDIA B200 run DeepSeek-V3 / R1?

Not on one GPU: with all 671B parameters resident it needs 746 GB at FP8 and 411 GB at 4-bit for one user at an 8K context. That is 8 GPUs (tensor parallel 8) at FP8 and 4 GPUs (tensor parallel 4) at 4-bit.
