Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
MegaMolBART on the Huawei Ascend 950DT
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1997k | 28888.9-35111.1 t/s | ~288.9-351.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1998k | 57777.8-70222.2 t/s | ~577.8-702.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1998k | 103174.6-125396.8 t/s | ~1031.7-1254 (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.
