Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run MPT-30B?

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

MPT-30B on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 215k 35.8-44.4 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 329k 71.5-88.8 t/s ~0.8-1 (slow)
Q4 yes 379k 127.7-158.6 t/s ~1.4-1.7 (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 MPT-30B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~127.7-158.6 tok/s and fits up to 379k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.4-1.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 379k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
