QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1692k 397.4-493.3 t/s ~4.3-5.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 1733k 794.8-986.7 t/s ~8.6-10.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 1751k 1419.3-1761.9 t/s ~15.3-19 (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 GPT-Neo-2.7B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1419.3-1761.9 tok/s and fits up to 1751k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~15.3-19 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1751k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
