Can the FuriosaAI RNGD run SmolLM-1.7B?

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

SmolLM-1.7B on the FuriosaAI RNGD

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 599k 285.1-346.5 t/s ~7.6-9.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 625k 570.2-693 t/s ~15.2-18.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 636k 1018.2-1237.5 t/s ~27.2-33 (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 SmolLM-1.7B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1018.2-1237.5 tok/s and fits up to 636k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~27.2-33 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 636k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
