Can the AMD Instinct MI455X run BTLM-3B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
BTLM-3B on the AMD Instinct MI455X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 5962k | 2374.6-2902.3 t/s | ~4.8-5.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 6002k | 4749.2-5804.6 t/s | ~9.7-11.8 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 6019k | 8480.8-10365.4 t/s | ~17.3-21.2 (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 MI455X run BTLM-3B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~8480.8-10365.4 tok/s and fits up to 6019k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~17.3-21.2 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 6019k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
