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 Teuken 7B

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 Teuken 7B

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

The hardware side

Minimum card

Tesla K20c

Memory needed

4.1 GB

Fastest

484 tok/s

Teuken 7B is small enough at 7B parameters that hardware is rarely the obstacle — 589 of the cards we track can run it, including cards several years old.

At the low end, a Tesla K20c handles it — 5 GB, at Q3_K_M, for about 28.9 tokens per second.

A B200 is the fastest we calculate for it: about 484 tokens per second, from 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Where it came from

Teuken 7B was published by OpenGPT-X,Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing,Forschungszentrum Julich,Technische Universität Dresden, in Germany, in August 2025. The organisation is categorised as government,Academia,Government,Academia.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Question answering.

Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded. It is published under the openGPT-X organisation on Hugging Face.

Understanding the speeds

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range is about 26.1 tokens per second, and 559 of them clear the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed.

Being dense, it reads all of itself per token, which is why the ordering by speed below follows the ordering by memory bandwidth so closely.

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

Training it took roughly 2.1 × 10²³ FLOP of computation, on NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB — a measure of what producing the model cost, not of how fast it answers.

It was trained on about 4,000,000,000,000 tokens of text.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for Teuken 7B

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

Look at what Teuken 7B actually needs — around 4.1 GB at Q3_K_M. No amount of processing power compensates for a card that cannot hold it.
02

Match the context to your actual use

Set the context to what you will actually use. The cache grows with the conversation, and it is the usual reason Teuken 7B stops fitting a card that seemed fine.
03

Choose how far you will compress it

The quantisation column varies by card, because a bigger card holds a more accurate copy of Teuken 7B — Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. Set a floor to hold the comparison at one level.
04

Compare tokens per second, not specifications

Sort by speed to see how cards rank for Teuken 7B. It will not match a gaming ordering — generation is bound by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 484 tok/s.
05

Check the fit verdict before buying

A tight fit runs Teuken 7B but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation; comfortable has headroom. If you expect to grow the context, buy for comfortable.
06

See what else that card runs

Every card name links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across the whole model catalogue. Worth a look before buying for Teuken 7B alone — a card is usually bought for more than one model.

Answers

Teuken 7B — common questions

Would two GPUs run Teuken 7B faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 589 cards already able to run Teuken 7B alone, the case for pairing is weak.

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for Teuken 7B?

A larger card holds a more accurate copy. Across the cards that run Teuken 7B, 4 compression levels are used; the floor control above pins it to one.

How accurate are these Teuken 7B speed estimates?

They are calculated from specifications rather than measured, and each carries a range — 290–774 tok/s on the B200, for instance. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

What GPU do I need to run Teuken 7B?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds Teuken 7B is the Tesla K20c, with 5 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q3_K_M using about 4.1 GB, and produces roughly 28.9 tokens per second. 589 cards in total can run it.

How fast is Teuken 7B on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 484 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 559 of the cards that can run Teuken 7B clear that.

How much VRAM does Teuken 7B need?

About 4.1 GB at Q3_K_M compression, 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.

Can I run Teuken 7B on a 8 GB GPU?

Yes. A CMP 170HX 8 GB with 8 GB runs it at Q6_K, using about 6.6 GB and generating roughly 131 tokens per second — a tight fit.

Can I run Teuken 7B on a 12 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 12 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 8.2 GB and generating roughly 55.2 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run Teuken 7B on a 16 GB GPU?

Yes. A Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB with 16 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 8.2 GB and generating roughly 68.4 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run Teuken 7B on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 24 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 8.2 GB and generating roughly 81.1 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Is Teuken 7B open source?

Its weights are published, so Teuken 7B 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.

How many parameters does Teuken 7B have?

Teuken 7B has 7B parameters. 7B. 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.

Who created Teuken 7B?

Teuken 7B was published by OpenGPT-X,Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing,Forschungszentrum Julich,Technische Universität Dresden, based in Germany, categorised as government,Academia,Government,Academia.

When was Teuken 7B released?

Teuken 7B was published in August 2025.

What is Teuken 7B used for?

Teuken 7B works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Question answering. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

Where can I download Teuken 7B?

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

How much compute was used to train Teuken 7B?

Around 2.1 × 10²³ FLOP, on NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB. 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.

Can I run Teuken 7B if it does not fit in my GPU?

Only by offloading, which is usually a false economy: the part in system memory drags the whole thing down — the nearest miss we calculate is short by 1.3 GB. Our figures for Teuken 7B assume it is fully resident.
