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

ProtGPT2 on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1751k 1453.9-1804.9 t/s ~15.7-19.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 1763k 2907.9-3609.8 t/s ~31.4-39 (slow)
Q4 yes 1768k 5192.6-6446 t/s ~56.1-69.7 (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 ProtGPT2?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~5192.6-6446 tok/s and fits up to 1768k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~56.1-69.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1768k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
