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

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond 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?โ–ถ

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?โ–ถ

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.
