Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run Japanese-LM-3.6B?

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

Japanese-LM-3.6B on the Intel Arc Pro B50

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 92k 18-22.4 t/s ~3.2-4 (slow)
Q8 yes 147k 36.1-44.8 t/s ~6.4-8 (slow)
Q4 yes 171k 64.4-80 t/s ~11.5-14.3 (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 Pro B50 run Japanese-LM-3.6B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~64.4-80 tok/s and fits up to 171k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~11.5-14.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 171k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
