Command R+ 104B needs ~49.7 GB VRAM. NVIDIA L40S 48GB has 48.0 GB. With Q2_K quantization, expect ~6 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.

This model fits, but memory bandwidth is the part holding decode speed back.
Throughput will feel slow
Estimated decode speed is only 6.2 tok/s, so this is more of a technical fit than a comfortable daily-driver setup.
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.
Prioritize bandwidth, not only capacity
If this workload feels slow, the next useful step is often a GPU tier with materially faster memory bandwidth rather than only a small bump in capacity.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit
A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.

Yes, NVIDIA L40S 48GB can run Command R+ 104B at Q2_K quantization (Runs with offload (needs ~1.4 GB host RAM)). The recommended Q4_K_M requires 72.6 GB which exceeds available memory, but at Q2_K it needs only 49.7 GB. Expected decode speed: 6.2 tok/s.
Command R+ 104B (104B parameters) requires approximately 72.6 GB at Q4_K_M quantization. On NVIDIA L40S 48GB, it fits at Q2_K using 49.7 GB.
The recommended quantization is Q4_K_M, but on NVIDIA L40S 48GB the best fitting quantization is Q2_K, which uses 49.7 GB.
On NVIDIA L40S 48GB, Command R+ 104B achieves approximately 6.2 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 31367ms using Q2_K quantization.
For coding workloads, Command R+ 104B on NVIDIA L40S 48GB receives a F grade with 3.3 tok/s and 4K context.
On NVIDIA L40S 48GB, Command R+ 104B can safely use up to 8K tokens of context at Q2_K quantization. The model's official context limit is 131K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Prioritize bandwidth, not only capacity. If this workload feels slow, the next useful step is often a GPU tier with materially faster memory bandwidth rather than only a small bump in capacity.
