Speed is modeled, not measured: decode is memory-bandwidth bound, so tokens per second is bytes read per token against achievable bandwidth. Mixture-of-experts models carry a wider band because only the routed experts are read each step, and few have been measured publicly.
Questions people ask
- What AI models can a Tesla P100 16GB run?
- 1400 of 2118 indexed open-weight models fit a Tesla P100 16GB at 65,536 context with f16 KV cache, the largest being GLM-4.7-Flash at Q2_K. That covers text, vision-language, image, video and speech models.
- How much usable memory does a Tesla P100 16GB actually have?
- Its nameplate is 16 GB, but about 14.88 GiB is available to a model once driver and compositor overhead is accounted for.
- Is a Tesla P100 16GB fast for local AI?
- Its memory bandwidth is 732 GB/s, and that figure — not teraflops — is what governs token generation speed. Capacity decides what you can run; bandwidth decides how fast it runs.
