Can the FuriosaAI RNGD run Llama 3.1-8B?

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

Llama 3.1-8B on the FuriosaAI RNGD

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 203k 60.9-74.1 t/s ~1.6-2 (slow)
Q8 yes 264k 121.9-148.1 t/s ~3.3-4 (slow)
Q4 yes 291k 217.6-264.5 t/s ~5.8-7.1 (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 FuriosaAI RNGD run Llama 3.1-8B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~217.6-264.5 tok/s and fits up to 291k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.8-7.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 291k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
