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

Ovis1.6-Gemma2-27B on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 223k 37.1-46.1 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 333k 74.3-92.2 t/s ~0.8-1 (slow)
Q4 yes 382k 132.6-164.6 t/s ~1.4-1.8 (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 Ovis1.6-Gemma2-27B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~132.6-164.6 tok/s and fits up to 382k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.4-1.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 382k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
