Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Swallow?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Swallow on the AMD Instinct MI325X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 3569k | 27000-33000 t/s | ~180-220 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 3570k | 54000-66000 t/s | ~360-440 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 3570k | 96428.6-117857.1 t/s | ~642.9-785.7 (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.
