Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run ByT5-XXL?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ByT5-XXL on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 552k | 83.2-103.3 t/s | ~0.9-1.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 631k | 166.4-206.5 t/s | ~1.8-2.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 666k | 297.1-368.8 t/s | ~3.2-4 (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.
