# ZeroGPU Hardware Mismatch: Why Am I Getting RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell MIG Instead of the Documented H200?

I recently ran into a surprising issue while debugging a Hugging Face ZeroGPU Space.

According to the Hugging Face ZeroGPU documentation, ZeroGPU is described as using NVIDIA H200-based resources, with configurations such as “large” and “xlarge” offering H200-class memory. However, when I printed the actual GPU information inside my Space, I got something different:

`txt
GPU: NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition MIG 2g.48gb
Capability: (12, 0)
Torch: 2.8.0+cu128
CUDA: 12.8

This is not an H200. It appears to be a MIG slice of an RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU, with 48GB VRAM.

This difference matters. It is not just a cosmetic hardware-name issue.

In my case, the Space was running Qwen3-TTS and failed with:

CUDA error:
no kernel image is available for execution on the device

The issue appears related to GPU architecture compatibility. The app was using kernels-community/flash-attn3, which is generally aligned with Hopper-class GPUs such as H100/H200, but the actual device exposed to the Space was Blackwell with compute capability 12.0. As a result, CUDA kernels that might work on the expected H200 environment failed on the actual assigned GPU.

To be clear, I am not saying the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is a bad GPU. It is a newer architecture and may be powerful in many workloads. But it is not the same as H200, and the software ecosystem compatibility is different. For ML workloads, especially those relying on custom CUDA kernels, the exact GPU architecture matters a lot.

This raises a few questions:

Is Hugging Face ZeroGPU now assigning RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell MIG instances instead of H200 instances?
If yes, why is this not clearly documented?
