Mistral Small v24.09 on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 276k 48.8-60.5 t/s ~0.5-0.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 360k 97.5-121.1 t/s ~1.1-1.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 396k 174.2-216.2 t/s ~1.9-2.3 (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 Mistral Small v24.09?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~174.2-216.2 tok/s and fits up to 396k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.9-2.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 396k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
