Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run AntiFormer?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
AntiFormer on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1773k | 43493.1-53991.4 t/s | ~470.2-583.7 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1774k | 86986.1-107982.8 t/s | ~940.4-1167.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1774k | 155332.4-192826.4 t/s | ~1679.3-2084.6 (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.
