Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 191k 464-576 t/s ~33.1-41.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 196k 928-1152 t/s ~66.3-82.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 199k 1657.1-2057.1 t/s ~118.4-146.9 (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.

FAQ

Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1657.1-2057.1 tok/s and fits up to 199k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~118.4-146.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 199k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
