Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run nesso 0.4B Instruct?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
nesso 0.4B Instruct on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1762k | 2682.5-3330 t/s | ~29-36 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1768k | 5365-6660 t/s | ~58-72 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1771k | 9580.4-11892.9 t/s | ~103.6-128.6 (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 nesso 0.4B Instruct?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~9580.4-11892.9 tok/s and fits up to 1771k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~103.6-128.6 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1771k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
