FP16 yes 310k 52.2-63.5 t/s ~0.5-0.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 405k 104.4-126.9 t/s ~1-1.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 446k 186.5-226.6 t/s ~1.9-2.3 (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 Huawei Ascend 950DT run Aria?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~186.5-226.6 tok/s and fits up to 446k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.9-2.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 446k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
