Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Gemma 1.1 7B Instruct?

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

Gemma 1.1 7B Instruct on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 757k 125.6-156 t/s ~1.4-1.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 822k 251.3-311.9 t/s ~2.7-3.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 851k 448.7-557 t/s ~4.9-6 (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 Gemma 1.1 7B Instruct?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~448.7-557 tok/s and fits up to 851k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.9-6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 851k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
