Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run ESM1-85M?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ESM1-85M on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1771k | 12608.7-15652.2 t/s | ~136.3-169.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1773k | 25217.4-31304.3 t/s | ~272.6-338.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1773k | 45031.1-55900.6 t/s | ~486.8-604.3 (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 ESM1-85M?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~45031.1-55900.6 tok/s and fits up to 1773k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~486.8-604.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1773k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
