Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Tri-21B?

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

Tri-21B on the AMD Instinct MI325X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 735k 91.2-111.4 t/s ~0.6-0.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 814k 182.3-222.9 t/s ~1.2-1.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 848k 325.6-398 t/s ~2.2-2.7 (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.

FAQ

Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Tri-21B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~325.6-398 tok/s and fits up to 848k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.2-2.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 848k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
