Can the Huawei Ascend 950DT run Generative BST?

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

Generative BST on the Huawei Ascend 950DT

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 855k 137.8-167.5 t/s ~1.4-1.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 927k 275.7-335 t/s ~2.8-3.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 959k 492.3-598.3 t/s ~4.9-6 (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 Generative BST?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~492.3-598.3 tok/s and fits up to 959k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.9-6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 959k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
