Theseus 6/768 on the Instinct MI455X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 6040k | 93545.5-114333.3 t/s | ~190.9-233.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 6041k | 187090.9-228666.7 t/s | ~381.8-466.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 6041k | 334090.9-408333.3 t/s | ~681.8-833.3 (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.
