Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run Nanbeige2-16B-Chat?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~14.7-18.2 tok/s and fits up to 17k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.6-3.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 17k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
