Can the Instinct MI430X run AREX Base?

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

AREX Base on the Instinct MI430X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 464k 60.2-73.5 t/s ~0.1-0.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 836k 120.3-147.1 t/s ~0.2-0.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 1000k 214.9-262.6 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (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 Instinct MI430X run AREX Base?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~214.9-262.6 tok/s and fits up to 1000k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.4-0.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1000k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
