Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Tri-21B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Tri-21B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 285k | 51.8-64.3 t/s | ~0.6-0.7 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 364k | 103.5-128.5 t/s | ~1.1-1.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 399k | 184.9-229.5 t/s | ~2-2.5 (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 Tri-21B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~184.9-229.5 tok/s and fits up to 399k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2-2.5 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 399k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
