Running Kimi K2.7 Code on GB300 NVL72

Kimi K2.7 Code has 1000 billion parameters. GB300 NVL72 offers 20,700 GB of HBM3e across a 72-GPU rack memory. This page puts the two side by side.

Short answer. Kimi K2.7 Code fits comfortably on GB300 NVL72. In FP16, its weights take about 2,300 GB of the 20,700 GB available, leaving 18,400 GB for the attention cache and concurrency.

How much memory does Kimi K2.7 Code need?

Weights take the parameter count multiplied by the format size, plus a 15% runtime margin for activations and buffers. The attention cache sits on top: it grows with context length and with the number of concurrent requests, so it is sized case by case.

What is left to serve requests?

Kimi K2.7 Code fits comfortably on GB300 NVL72. In FP16, its weights take about 2,300 GB of the 20,700 GB available, leaving 18,400 GB for the attention cache and concurrency. The remaining margin decides how many concurrent requests and how much context the machine sustains. A margin below a quarter of memory forces a limit on context or on concurrency.

GB300 NVL72 ranges from from 3,9 M€, indicative and not contractual. The machine targets the GE segment.
