Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

The extremes

The ten fastest GPUs that run Jais-70B

Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.

The smallest GPUs that still run Jais-70B

The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.

What the numbers mean

What you need to run it

Minimum card

A100 PCIe 40 GB

Memory needed

Fastest

48.4 tok/s

Jais-70B reaches a parameter count of 70B. That puts it above consumer hardware, into the range where a card is bought for this purpose rather than repurposed for it. The number of cards we track that can hold it: 61.

The least hardware that works is A100 PCIe 40 GB, with a memory capacity of 40 GB, running it at a compression of Q3_K_M and producing around 25.5 tokens per second.

At the other end sits B200, generating roughly 48.4 tokens per second on the strength of a memory bandwidth of 8,000 GB/s.

About this model

Jais-70B was published by G42,Inception G42, in the country recorded as United Arab Emirates, during August 2024. The category the publisher falls under is industry,Industry.

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of language modeling/generation, Question answering.

Its starting point was an existing base model, Llama 2-70B. That is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

The weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware indefinitely, offline, with no account attached. On Hugging Face it is published under the organisation inceptionai.

How fast it runs, and why

Half the cards that hold it manage more than 17.1 tokens per second. Clearing the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed: 50 of them.

Every weight participates in every token here, so bandwidth is the whole story: the ranking below is effectively a ranking of memory throughput.

Without the attention layout on record, the memory column is an approximation. It is close enough to choose hardware by, and least reliable at long context.

How it was trained

The training run consumed about 9.7 × 10²³ FLOP, on hardware recorded as Cerebras CS-2. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.

It was trained on a corpus of about 370,000,000,000 tokens of text.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for Jais-70B

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

01

Start from the memory column

Start from what it actually needs, which is the requirement of Jais-70B, needing around 34.9 GB at a compression of Q3_K_M. No amount of processing power compensates for a card that cannot hold it.
02

Match the context to your actual use

The conversation occupies memory too, and grows as it goes. Set the slider to the length you expect, because at long context a card that handles short questions easily can be dropped by Jais-70B.
03

Set a quality floor

Compression is what makes a model fit smaller cards, at some cost in accuracy, reaching a compression of Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. Setting a minimum quality drops the cards that only manage it by squeezing further than you would want, and holds the comparison at one level.
04

Sort by speed

Sort by speed to see how cards rank for Jais-70B. It will not match a gaming ordering, because generation is bound by memory bandwidth. The card topping the list is B200, at 48.4 tok/s.
05

Read the fit column last

The fit column separates cards that just manage it from those with room to spare, in the case of Jais-70B. Comfortable means you can grow the context later. That difference matters more than a few tokens per second, so buy for comfortable if you expect to.
06

See what else that card runs

Each card page repeats this sweep for every model we hold, answering what else the hardware is good for beyond Jais-70B.

Answers

Jais-70B — common questions

Jais-70B— why does the quantisation differ between cards?

A larger card holds a more accurate copy. The number of compression levels used across the cards that run it: 5. Bigger cards get the more accurate version, and the quality floor above pins the comparison to one level.

Jais-70B— how accurate are these speed estimates?

Every figure is derived from memory bandwidth and model size, not benchmarked, which is why each is published as a range rather than a single number. One example: 29–77 tok/s on B200. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

Jais-70B— what GPU do I need to run it?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds it is A100 PCIe 40 GB, with a memory capacity of 40 GB. It runs the model at a compression of Q3_K_M using about 34.9 GB, and produces roughly 25.5 tokens per second. The number of cards able to run it in total: 61.

Jais-70B— how fast is it on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is B200, at about 48.4 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and the number of cards clearing that: 50.

Jais-70B— how much VRAM does it need?

It needs about 34.9 GB at a compression of Q3_K_M, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

Jais-70B— is it open source?

Its weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

Jais-70B— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 70B. 70B. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

Jais-70B— who created it?

It was published by G42,Inception G42, based in United Arab Emirates, an organisation categorised as industry,Industry.

Jais-70B— when was it released?

It was published in August 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

Jais-70B— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling/generation, Question answering. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

Jais-70B— where can I download it?

Its weights are published on Hugging Face, under the organisation inceptionai. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.

Jais-70B— how much compute was used to train it?

Training consumed around 9.7 × 10²³ FLOP, on hardware recorded as Cerebras CS-2. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

Jais-70B— can I run it if it does not fit in my GPU?

Only by offloading, which is usually a false economy: the part held in system memory drags the whole thing down. The nearest miss we calculate falls short by 14.2 GB. Every figure here assumes the whole model is resident on the card.

Jais-70B— would two GPUs run it faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. The number already able to run it alone: 61. So a second card is rarely the answer here.
