Can the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 run SmolLM-1.7B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
SmolLM-1.7B on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1683k | 47.2-57.6 t/s | ~1.8-2.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1709k | 94.3-115.3 t/s | ~3.7-4.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1720k | 168.4-205.8 t/s | ~6.6-8 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
