Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Novae?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Novae on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1773k | 33531.3-41625 t/s | ~362.5-450 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1773k | 67062.5-83250 t/s | ~725-900 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1774k | 119754.5-148660.7 t/s | ~1294.6-1607.1 (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 Novae?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~119754.5-148660.7 tok/s and fits up to 1774k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1294.6-1607.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1774k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
