Can the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 run GPT-2 (124M)?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
GPT-2 (124M) on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1731k | 650.3-794.8 t/s | ~25.4-31 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1733k | 1300.6-1589.7 t/s | ~50.8-62.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1734k | 2322.6-2838.7 t/s | ~90.7-110.9 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
FAQ
Can the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 run GPT-2 (124M)?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2322.6-2838.7 tok/s and fits up to 1734k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~90.7-110.9 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 1734k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
