ESM3-open-small on the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 159k 115.2-140.8 t/s ~9-11 (slow)
Q8 yes 180k 230.4-281.6 t/s ~18-22 (slow)
Q4 yes 190k 411.4-502.9 t/s ~32.1-39.3 (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 Radeon RX 6900 XT run ESM3-open-small?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~411.4-502.9 tok/s and fits up to 190k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~32.1-39.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 190k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
