Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Prometheus 2 8x7B?

73Great quality (A) · 73 of 100: how capable the model is at Q6_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 71/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, but slowly

Slow. At Q6_K it needs about 52.0 GB of 256 GB usable and makes one decision in about 1.1 s.

How it’s rated

Quality 73Great quality (A) · 73 of 100: how capable the model is at Q6_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 71/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q6_K, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Slow
How well it runs on the AMD Instinct MI325X: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.33.0 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.25.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.4.5 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.9.0 / 15
Match score71.5 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Quick answers

How much memory does Prometheus 2 8x7B need on the AMD Instinct MI325X 256GB?

At Q6_K it needs about 52.0 GB. The AMD Instinct MI325X 256GB has 256 GB usable.

How fast is Prometheus 2 8x7B on the AMD Instinct MI325X 256GB?

It makes one decision in about 1.1 s at Q6_K, an estimate from the hardware and the size of the model.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
