Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run OpenELM-1.1B?

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

OpenELM-1.1B on the Intel Arc B580 12GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 113k 122.4-152 t/s ~10.7-13.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 129k 244.9-304 t/s ~21.5-26.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 136k 437.3-542.9 t/s ~38.4-47.6 (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 B580 12GB run OpenELM-1.1B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~437.3-542.9 tok/s and fits up to 136k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~38.4-47.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 136k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
