Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run StableLM-2-1.6B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
StableLM-2-1.6B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1724k | 652.5-810 t/s | ~7.1-8.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1749k | 1305-1620 t/s | ~14.1-17.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1760k | 2330.4-2892.9 t/s | ~25.2-31.3 (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 StableLM-2-1.6B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2330.4-2892.9 tok/s and fits up to 1760k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~25.2-31.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1760k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
