Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Unified-IO (XL)?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

Unified-IO (XL) on the Intel Gaudi 3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1685k 366.8-455.4 t/s ~4-4.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 1729k 733.7-910.8 t/s ~7.9-9.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 1749k 1310.1-1626.4 t/s ~14.2-17.6 (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 Unified-IO (XL)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1310.1-1626.4 tok/s and fits up to 1749k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~14.2-17.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1749k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
