Can the Instinct MI430X run ESM2-35M?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ESM2-35M on the Instinct MI430X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 6040k | 209700-256300 t/s | ~360-440 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 6041k | 419400-512600 t/s | ~720-880 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 6041k | 748928.6-915357.1 t/s | ~1285.7-1571.4 (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.
