Can the Instinct MI430X run ESM1-85M?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ESM1-85M on the Instinct MI430X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 6039k | 86245.6-105411.3 t/s | ~148.1-181 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 6040k | 172491.2-210822.6 t/s | ~296.1-361.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 6041k | 308020-376468.9 t/s | ~528.8-646.3 (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.
