FAQ

Can the Instinct MI430X run Arctic?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~54.6-66.7 tok/s and fits up to 243k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.1-0.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 243k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
