Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run KataGo?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
KataGo on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1774k | 429200-532800 t/s | ~4640-5760 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1774k | 858400-1065600 t/s | ~9280-11520 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1774k | 1532857.1-1902857.1 t/s | ~16571.4-20571.4 (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 KataGo?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1532857.1-1902857.1 tok/s and fits up to 1774k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~16571.4-20571.4 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1774k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
