Can the FuriosaAI RNGD run Qwen2-0.5B?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen2-0.5B on the FuriosaAI RNGD
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 636k | 975-1185 t/s | ~26-31.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 643k | 1950-2370 t/s | ~52-63.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 647k | 3482.1-4232.1 t/s | ~92.9-112.9 (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 Qwen2-0.5B?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~3482.1-4232.1 tok/s and fits up to 647k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~92.9-112.9 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 647k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
