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 Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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.

Memory needed

Fastest

48.4 tok/s

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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.

At the low end it is handled by 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.

The quickest result comes from B200, generating roughly 48.4 tokens per second on the strength of a memory bandwidth of 8,000 GB/s.

About this model

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B was published by Trend Micro, in the country recorded as Japan, during April 2025. The publishing organisation is categorised as industry.

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

Rather than being trained from scratch, it is derived from Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Instruct. That is why it shares the base model's general shape and size.

Published weights mean the model runs on your machine rather than someone else's, which is what makes the hardware question below answerable at all. On Hugging Face it is published under the organisation trend-cybertron.

How fast it runs, and why

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range sits at 17.1 tokens per second. Exceeding reading speed outright: 49 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.

Its attention layout is on file, so the memory figures are computed exactly rather than approximated.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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 Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B, needing around 33.0 GB at a compression of Q3_K_M. Capacity is the gate — a card either holds it or it does not.
02

Decide how long your conversations run

Set the context to what you will actually use. The cache grows with the conversation, and it is the usual reason a card that seemed fine stops fitting Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B.
03

Choose how far you will compress it

Each card runs the least-compressed copy it can hold, 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

Compare tokens per second, not specifications

Ranking by tokens per second follows memory bandwidth rather than core counts, for Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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

Look at the headroom, not just the fit

Tight means it loads and works with no room to raise the context later, in the case of Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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

Answers

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B — common questions

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B— would two GPUs run it faster?

Two cards buy memory rather than speed, which matters only if one card cannot hold it. The number that can: 61. So a second card is rarely the answer here.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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: 4. Bigger cards get the more accurate version, and the quality floor above pins the comparison to one level.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B— how accurate are these speed estimates?

They are calculated from specifications rather than measured, and each carries a range. One example: 41–58 tok/s on B200. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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 33.0 GB, and produces roughly 25.5 tokens per second. The number of cards able to run it in total: 61.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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: 49.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B— how much VRAM does it need?

It needs about 33.0 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.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B— who created it?

It was published by Trend Micro, based in Japan, an organisation categorised as industry.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B— when was it released?

It was published in April 2025.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-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.

Llama-Primus-Nemotron-70B— where can I download it?

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

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

Partly. Layers that do not fit sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. The nearest miss we calculate falls short by 12.4 GB. Every figure here assumes the whole model is resident on the card.
