Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run OPT-30B?

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

OPT-30B on the AMD Instinct MI325X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 664k 63-77 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 778k 126-154 t/s ~0.8-1 (slow)
Q4 yes 829k 225-275 t/s ~1.5-1.8 (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 OPT-30B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~225-275 tok/s and fits up to 829k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.5-1.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 829k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
