Can the Instinct MI430X run NLLB?

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

NLLB on the Instinct MI430X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 876k 134.7-164.6 t/s ~0.2-0.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 1042k 269.3-329.2 t/s ~0.5-0.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 1115k 481-587.8 t/s ~0.8-1 (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 NLLB?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~481-587.8 tok/s and fits up to 1115k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.8-1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1115k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
