Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen2.5-1.5B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen2.5-1.5B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1727k | 696.8-864.9 t/s | ~7.5-9.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1750k | 1393.5-1729.9 t/s | ~15.1-18.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1761k | 2488.4-3089.1 t/s | ~26.9-33.4 (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 Qwen2.5-1.5B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2488.4-3089.1 tok/s and fits up to 1761k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~26.9-33.4 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1761k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
