// RUN โ€” FITS

Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Nous-Hermes-2-Yi-34B?

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

Nous-Hermes-2-Yi-34B on the AMD Instinct MI325X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 633k 55.6-67.9 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 763k 111.2-135.9 t/s ~0.7-0.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 820k 198.5-242.6 t/s ~1.3-1.6 (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 Nous-Hermes-2-Yi-34B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~198.5-242.6 tok/s and fits up to 820k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.3-1.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 820k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
