Can the Instinct MI440X run BLOOM-176B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
BLOOM-176B on the Instinct MI440X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 83k | 35-42.8 t/s | ~0.1-0.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 419k | 70.1-85.6 t/s | ~0.1-0.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 567k | 125.1-152.9 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.
