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 NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run IDEFICS-80B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~31.5-37.6 tok/s and fits up to 83k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.7-0.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 83k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
