NVIDIA Rubin

288 GB decides what fits. 22000 GB/s decides how fast it runs once it does.

Quick answer
The NVIDIA Rubin fits 286 of 320 sized models entirely in its 288 GB; the largest widely used one is MiniMax-M3 (264.0 GB at Q4_K_M). Memory decides what fits; its 22000 GB/s of bandwidth decides how fast it answers.

At 8,192 tokens of context with the whole model in device memory. Speeds are estimates from memory bandwidth, not benchmarks run on this card.

286 of 320 fit entirely

286 of the 320 models the engine can size fit entirely in device memory at Q4_K_M where it is published, otherwise the nearest published format, and 8,192 tokens. 1 run with some layers on system memory (32 GB assumed), and 33 do not run at all.

These examples are selected from prominent labs using the catalogue’s latest Hugging Face 30-day downloads and repository-creation freshness signal, with newer releases guaranteed a place. Offloaded rows assume 32 GB of system RAM, and a speed is only shown for a row that runs. Fitting in memory is not the same as loading: whether the runtime and version you have supports each architecture and format on this machine has not been tested here. Each “Open” link carries the same model, format, context and RAM into the calculator.

Every model that fitswhole model resident · offload off

The most demanding model that fits is MiniMax-Text-01 at Q4_K_M: 283.5 GB of the 288 GB, leaving 4.53 GB spare.

Fully resident at 8,192 tokens (or the model’s own maximum, where that is shorter), offload off, at 22000 GB/s. Each row is a run of the engine for this configuration; the rows start with current, prominent releases and “fits” is memory, not a tested runtime. Older or less prominent models remain available through this search and “Show all”.

Caveats

  • Announced, not verified as purchasable. NVIDIA published this architecture on 21 July 2026; this catalogue has not confirmed a shipping part, a price or a delivery date, and the entry exists so the device can be planned against rather than as evidence that it can be bought.
  • NVIDIA states both figures as "up to". They are the ceiling of the part as described, and a specific product built on it may publish less.
  • These are per-GPU figures. The Vera Rubin NVL72 in the same article is a rack of them with its own networking and cooling; its rack-level numbers are not this device's and are not carried here.
  • No per-GPU power figure is published in this article, so none is recorded. The rack-level power discussion is about the NVL72, not one GPU.
  • No dense matrix throughput is published for this device in a form this catalogue accepts, so no compute roof is priced and time to first token is withheld.

Published capacity is a hardware ceiling, not guaranteed free runtime memory. The calculator shows the runtime reserve separately rather than folding it into a single number.
