// RUN โ€” FITS

Can the AMD Instinct MI455X run Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B)?

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

Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B) on the AMD Instinct MI455X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 5995k 4009.1-4900 t/s ~8.2-10 (slow)
Q8 yes 6018k 8018.2-9800 t/s ~16.4-20 (slow)
Q4 yes 6028k 14318.2-17500 t/s ~29.2-35.7 (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.

Can the AMD Instinct MI455X run Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~14318.2-17500 tok/s and fits up to 6028k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~29.2-35.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 6028k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
