Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen2.5-Coder (7B)?

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

Qwen2.5-Coder (7B) on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 771k 141-175 t/s ~1.5-1.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 829k 282-350.1 t/s ~3-3.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 854k 503.6-625.1 t/s ~5.4-6.8 (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-Coder (7B)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~503.6-625.1 tok/s and fits up to 854k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.4-6.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 854k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
