Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run LFM2.5-Embedding-350M?

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

LFM2.5-Embedding-350M on the Intel Arc B580 12GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 135k 377.8-469 t/s ~33.1-41.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 140k 755.7-938.1 t/s ~66.3-82.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 143k 1349.4-1675.1 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.

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1349.4-1675.1 tok/s and fits up to 143k 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 143k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
