Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run BLOOM-7.1B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
BLOOM-7.1B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 779k | 151.8-188.4 t/s | ~1.6-2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 833k | 303.5-376.8 t/s | ~3.3-4.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 857k | 542-672.9 t/s | ~5.9-7.3 (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 Gaudi 3 run BLOOM-7.1B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~542-672.9 tok/s and fits up to 857k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.9-7.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 857k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
