QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 301k 50-60.8 t/s ~0.5-0.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 400k 100-121.5 t/s ~1-1.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 444k 178.6-217 t/s ~1.8-2.2 (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.

Can the Huawei Ascend 950DT run DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~178.6-217 tok/s and fits up to 444k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.8-2.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 444k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
