BaichuanMed OCR 72B i1 needs ~54.8 GB VRAM. NVIDIA L40 48GB has 48.0 GB. With NVFP4 quantization, expect ~10 tok/s.
Operating mode
Interactive favors responsiveness, while light API and scale-out lean harder on serving readiness. The fit stays the same, but the recommendation lens changes.
Current mode
Balanced
Balanced for general local use. Keeps the ranking neutral across personal and serving workflows.

Offload
20%
It fits through host-memory offload, and offload is the main reason performance drops.
CPU or host-memory offload is active
About 10% of the working set spills out of accelerator memory, which usually hurts latency and sustained decode throughput.
Very little memory headroom
You can run the model, but there is not much room left for longer context, bigger batches, extra apps, or future model updates.
Remove offload with more accelerator memory
Prioritize a GPU or unified-memory tier that fits the whole model natively. Removing offload usually helps more than small compute gains.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit
A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.
Increase host RAM if you keep offloading
This setup may need roughly 5.0 GB of extra host RAM just for the offloaded portion, before OS and other tools.

Yes, NVIDIA L40 48GB can run BaichuanMed OCR 72B i1 at NVFP4 quantization (Very compromised (needs ~5 GB host RAM)). The recommended Q4_K_M requires 58.4 GB which exceeds available memory, but at NVFP4 it needs only 54.8 GB. Expected decode speed: 10.0 tok/s.
BaichuanMed OCR 72B i1 (72B parameters) requires approximately 58.4 GB at Q4_K_M quantization. On NVIDIA L40 48GB, it fits at NVFP4 using 54.8 GB.
The recommended quantization is Q4_K_M, but on NVIDIA L40 48GB the best fitting quantization is NVFP4, which uses 54.8 GB.
On NVIDIA L40 48GB, BaichuanMed OCR 72B i1 achieves approximately 10.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 19408ms using NVFP4 quantization.
For coding workloads, BaichuanMed OCR 72B i1 on NVIDIA L40 48GB receives a F grade with 7.6 tok/s and 4K context.
On NVIDIA L40 48GB, BaichuanMed OCR 72B i1 can safely use up to 4K tokens of context at NVFP4 quantization. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
