Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run gpt-sw3-40b?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
gpt-sw3-40b on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 111k | 26.8-33.3 t/s | ~0.3-0.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 233k | 53.7-66.6 t/s | ~0.6-0.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 286k | 95.8-118.9 t/s | ~1-1.3 (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 gpt-sw3-40b?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~95.8-118.9 tok/s and fits up to 286k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1-1.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 286k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
