Can the NVIDIA H200 NVL run Nemotron Content Safety Reasoning 4B?

74Great quality (A) · 74 of 100: how capable the model is at Q4_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 80/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, it runs well

Runs well. At Q4_K_M it needs about 10.6 GB of 141 GB usable and makes one decision in about 146 ms.

Best app to run it on the NVIDIA H200 NVL

On Linux

vLLM

Inference server · runs on vLLM

  • The full model fits in GPU memory at 8-bit, so it can batch many requests: best for serving a team or an app.

  • LM Studio Point-and-click: search, download and chat in one window.
  • SGLang The full model fits in GPU memory at 8-bit, so it can batch many requests: best for serving a team or an app.

On Windows

Open Nemotron Content Safety Reasoning 4B in LM Studio

  • llama.cpp Usually the first to support new model architectures.
  • Ollama Runs the Hugging Face GGUF with ollama run hf.co/…

How we choose: the files published for this model, your operating system and GPU, whether it fits fully in memory, and published speed tests (MLX vs llama.cpp on Apple silicon, vLLM vs llama.cpp vs Ollama on NVIDIA). Details.

How it’s rated

Quality 74Great quality (A) · 74 of 100: how capable the model is at Q4_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 80/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q4_K_M, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: S 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs well
How well it runs on the NVIDIA H200 NVL: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.33.3 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.25.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.12.4 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.10.0 / 15
Match score80.7 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Times are for one request with a 512-token input and about 160 tokens written. Batching servers process many requests at once.

Other hardware that runs it

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
