Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run phi-3-mini 3.8B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
phi-3-mini 3.8B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1658k | 282.4-350.5 t/s | ~3.1-3.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1716k | 564.7-701.1 t/s | ~6.1-7.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1742k | 1008.5-1251.9 t/s | ~10.9-13.5 (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 phi-3-mini 3.8B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1008.5-1251.9 tok/s and fits up to 1742k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~10.9-13.5 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1742k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
