Can the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 run GPT-2 (774M)?

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

GPT-2 (774M) on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1711k 104.2-127.3 t/s ~4.1-5 (slow)
Q8 yes 1723k 208.4-254.7 t/s ~8.1-9.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 1728k 372.1-454.8 t/s ~14.5-17.8 (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 (774M)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~372.1-454.8 tok/s and fits up to 1728k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~14.5-17.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1728k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
