Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen2.5-14B?

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

Qwen2.5-14B on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 530k 73-90.6 t/s ~0.8-1 (slow)
Q8 yes 620k 146-181.2 t/s ~1.6-2 (slow)
Q4 yes 659k 260.7-323.6 t/s ~2.8-3.5 (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 Qwen2.5-14B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~260.7-323.6 tok/s and fits up to 659k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.8-3.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 659k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
