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

Flan T5-XXL + BLIP-2 on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 562k 88.7-110.1 t/s ~1-1.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 636k 177.4-220.2 t/s ~1.9-2.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 668k 316.7-393.2 t/s ~3.4-4.3 (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 Flan T5-XXL + BLIP-2?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~316.7-393.2 tok/s and fits up to 668k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.4-4.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 668k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
