Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run StarCoder 2 15B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
StarCoder 2 15B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 329k | 71.5-88.8 t/s | ~0.8-1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 386k | 143.1-177.6 t/s | ~1.5-1.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 411k | 255.5-317.1 t/s | ~2.8-3.4 (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 StarCoder 2 15B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~255.5-317.1 tok/s and fits up to 411k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.8-3.4 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 411k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
