Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run LLaVA-CoT?

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

LLaVA-CoT on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 575k 97.5-121.1 t/s ~1.1-1.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 642k 195.1-242.2 t/s ~2.1-2.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 672k 348.4-432.5 t/s ~3.8-4.7 (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 LLaVA-CoT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~348.4-432.5 tok/s and fits up to 672k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.8-4.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 672k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
