Running Kimi K2.7 Code on RTX PRO 6000 server

Kimi K2.7 Code has 1000 billion parameters. RTX PRO 6000 server offers 768 GB of GDDR7 across 8 GPUs memory. This page puts the two side by side.

Short answer. Kimi K2.7 Code fits on RTX PRO 6000 server only when quantised. In NVFP4, its weights take about 575 GB of 768 GB. More precise formats do not fit.

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. In NVFP4 the calculation reads: 1,000 billion parameters × 0.5 byte (NVFP4) = 500.0 GB of weights; × 1.15 runtime margin = 575.0 GB. 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.

Format	Weights in memory	On this machine	What the format costs
FP16	2,300 GB	does not fit	full precision, the quality reference
FP8	1,150 GB	does not fit	negligible loss on most tasks
NVFP4	575 GB	fits	Blackwell format, native FP4 compute
Q4	690 GB	tight	block quantisation, broadly supported

Model sheet: 1,000 billion parameters, 32 billion active per token, 262,144-token context, Modified MIT licence. 1 trillion announced (model card), 8 of 384 experts active; the repository holds 1,027 billion elements, published in 4-bit (595 GB).

Kimi K2.7 Code activates 32 billion parameters per token out of 1000 billion. Active parameters govern speed, not footprint: every expert stays resident in memory. Confusing the two under-sizes the machine by an order of magnitude.

What is left to serve requests?

Kimi K2.7 Code fits on RTX PRO 6000 server only when quantised. In NVFP4, its weights take about 575 GB of 768 GB. More precise formats do not fit. The remaining margin decides how many concurrent requests and how much context the machine sustains. By QDNA convention a machine “fits” when the weights take at most 75% of its memory; beyond that it “barely fits” and forces a limit on context or on concurrency. The attention cache is not calculated on this page. These models’ architectures (compressed latent, linear or sparse attention, Mamba layers) share no per-token formula; it is measured on the machine, with the target context and concurrency [TO BE MEASURED].

RTX PRO 6000 server: price on quotation. No manufacturer publishes a price for an 8-card server; the card alone is listed at $16,000 on the NVIDIA marketplace as of 1 September 2026 (as reported by thundercompute.com). The machine targets the PME, GE segment.

Method and sources

Memory footprints are calculated, not measured: a reading on real hardware may differ depending on the engine and the exact weight format. Every figure below carries its source and the date of its last check.

Kimi K2.7 Code: 1,000 billion parameters, 32 billion active, 262,144-token context, Modified MIT licence. Hugging Face repository (config.json, API, model card), checked on 2 September 2026. 1 trillion announced (model card), 8 of 384 experts active; the repository holds 1,027 billion elements, published in 4-bit (595 GB).
RTX PRO 6000 server: 768 GB of memory; 96 GB GDDR7 and 1,597 GB/s per card, 600 W, hence 768 GB for 8 cards. Manufacturer sheet checked on 2 September 2026.

Runtime margin × 1.15: QDNA operating assumption, not measured: 15% above the weights for activations, buffers and fragmentation.
“Fits” threshold at 75% of memory: QDNA assumption, not measured, which keeps the remaining quarter for the attention cache and concurrency.
