Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run Vicuna-13B v0?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~36.3-45.1 tok/s and fits up to 14k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.2-4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 14k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
