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

Ovis1.6-Gemma2-9B on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 585k 105.2-130.6 t/s ~1.1-1.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 647k 210.4-261.2 t/s ~2.3-2.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 675k 375.7-466.4 t/s ~4.1-5 (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-Gemma2-9B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~375.7-466.4 tok/s and fits up to 675k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.1-5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 675k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
