FAQ

Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run HiDream-I1?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~32.2-40 tok/s and fits up to 12k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.3-2.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 12k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
