Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run LLaVA-NeXT-34B (LLaVA-1.6)?

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

LLaVA-NeXT-34B (LLaVA-1.6) on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 178k 30.9-38.3 t/s ~0.3-0.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 311k 61.8-76.7 t/s ~0.7-0.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 369k 110.3-136.9 t/s ~1.2-1.5 (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-NeXT-34B (LLaVA-1.6)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~110.3-136.9 tok/s and fits up to 369k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.2-1.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 369k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
