Can the Instinct MI455X run Llama 4 Scout?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Llama 4 Scout on the Instinct MI455X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 543k | 56.6-69.2 t/s | ~0.1-0.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 876k | 113.3-138.5 t/s | ~0.2-0.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1022k | 202.3-247.2 t/s | ~0.4-0.5 (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.
