Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Pythia-160m?

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

Pythia-160m on the AMD Instinct MI325X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 3566k 11812.5-14437.5 t/s ~78.8-96.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 3568k 23625-28875 t/s ~157.5-192.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 3569k 42187.5-51562.5 t/s ~281.3-343.8 (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 Pythia-160m?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~42187.5-51562.5 tok/s and fits up to 3569k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~281.3-343.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 3569k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
