Can the Instinct MI430X run BlenderBot 3?

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

BlenderBot 3 on the Instinct MI430X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 88k 41.9-51.3 t/s ~0.1-0.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 421k 83.9-102.5 t/s ~0.1-0.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 568k 149.8-183.1 t/s ~0.3-0.3 (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 BlenderBot 3?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~149.8-183.1 tok/s and fits up to 568k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.3-0.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 568k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
