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 OPT-IML (175B)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~21.9-27.2 tok/s and fits up to 35k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.2-0.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 35k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
