Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run ULM-FiT?

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

ULM-FiT on the Intel Arc B580 12GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 132k 299.9-372.2 t/s ~26.3-32.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 139k 599.7-744.5 t/s ~52.6-65.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 142k 1070.9-1329.4 t/s ~93.9-116.6 (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 ULM-FiT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1070.9-1329.4 tok/s and fits up to 142k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~93.9-116.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 142k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
