Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B on the AMD Instinct MI325X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 732k 90-110 t/s ~0.6-0.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 813k 180-220 t/s ~1.2-1.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 848k 321.4-392.9 t/s ~2.1-2.6 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~321.4-392.9 tok/s and fits up to 848k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.1-2.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 848k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
