Frequently asked questions

Can Llama 4 Scout 17B-16E (MoE, VLM) run on H200 SXM5 141GB?

Yes. Llama 4 Scout 17B-16E (MoE, VLM) at AWQ 4-bit needs 72.8 GB including the KV cache, and H200 SXM5 141GB has 141 GB — so it fits on a single GPU.

How fast is Llama 4 Scout 17B-16E (MoE, VLM) on H200 SXM5 141GB?

293.6 tokens/sec per stream and 3524 tok/s aggregate with continuous batching at 8 concurrent users. Time to first token is 596.1 ms, and inter-token latency is 3.4 ms.

What does Llama 4 Scout 17B-16E (MoE, VLM) on H200 SXM5 141GB cost per million tokens?

$0.3153 per 1M output tokens at 1× H200 SXM5 141GB ($4.00/hr). That is the marginal hardware cost — add idle capacity, ops, and egress for the real figure.

How much VRAM does Llama 4 Scout 17B-16E (MoE, VLM) need on H200 SXM5 141GB?

60.0 GB for the weights at AWQ 4-bit, plus 12.9 GB of KV cache for 8 concurrent requests at 8K context — 72.8 GB total. Every extra concurrent user at long context costs more, so leave headroom.

Is H200 SXM5 141GB the right choice for Llama 4 Scout 17B-16E (MoE, VLM)?

It works. Compare $0.3153 per 1M tokens against the alternatives below — the cheapest option that fits the same workload is 8× RTX 3080 10GB at $0.0146, and the fastest is 2× Cerebras CS-3 (WSE-3) at 49920 tok/s.
