Typhoon 2.1 Gemma 4B on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1652k 268.3-333 t/s ~2.9-3.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 1713k 536.5-666 t/s ~5.8-7.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 1740k 958-1189.3 t/s ~10.4-12.9 (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 Typhoon 2.1 Gemma 4B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~958-1189.3 tok/s and fits up to 1740k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~10.4-12.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1740k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
