Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Velvet 14B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Velvet 14B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 539k | 76.6-95.1 t/s | ~0.8-1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 624k | 153.3-190.3 t/s | ~1.7-2.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 662k | 273.7-339.8 t/s | ~3-3.7 (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.
