Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run TinyBert?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
TinyBert on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1772k | 16014.9-19880.6 t/s | ~173.1-214.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1773k | 32029.9-39761.2 t/s | ~346.3-429.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1773k | 57196.2-71002.1 t/s | ~618.3-767.6 (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 TinyBert?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~57196.2-71002.1 tok/s and fits up to 1773k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~618.3-767.6 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1773k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
