Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Qwen2.5-3B?

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

Qwen2.5-3B on the AMD Instinct MI325X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 3477k 611.7-747.6 t/s ~4.1-5 (slow)
Q8 yes 3524k 1223.3-1495.1 t/s ~8.2-10 (slow)
Q4 yes 3544k 2184.5-2669.9 t/s ~14.6-17.8 (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 Qwen2.5-3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2184.5-2669.9 tok/s and fits up to 3544k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~14.6-17.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 3544k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
