Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run BART-large?

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

BART-large on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1762k 2641-3278.4 t/s ~28.6-35.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 1768k 5281.9-6556.9 t/s ~57.1-70.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 1771k 9432-11708.7 t/s ~102-126.6 (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 Gaudi 3 run BART-large?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~9432-11708.7 tok/s and fits up to 1771k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~102-126.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1771k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
