Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B?

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

DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 245k 41.3-51.2 t/s ~0.4-0.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 344k 82.5-102.5 t/s ~0.9-1.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 388k 147.4-183 t/s ~1.6-2 (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 DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~147.4-183 tok/s and fits up to 388k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.6-2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 388k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
