Can the Instinct MI430X run OpenELM-3B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
OpenELM-3B on the Instinct MI430X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 5949k | 2414.3-2950.8 t/s | ~4.1-5.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 5995k | 4828.6-5901.6 t/s | ~8.3-10.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 6016k | 8622.5-10538.7 t/s | ~14.8-18.1 (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.
