Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen3-0.6B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen3-0.6B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1756k | 1788.3-2220 t/s | ~19.3-24 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1765k | 3576.7-4440 t/s | ~38.7-48 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1769k | 6386.9-7928.6 t/s | ~69-85.7 (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 Qwen3-0.6B?▶
