Methodology Note
Performance estimates for the Gaudi 3are based on InferenceBench's roofline performance model with CUDA kernel-level optimization including FlashAttention v2 and PagedAttention. Memory calculations account for model weights (128 GB HBM2e available), KV-cache allocation, and activation memory. Throughput predictions use the Gaudi 3's rated 3700 GB/s memory bandwidth and 1835 BF16 TFLOPS compute capacity as roofline ceilings, with empirical correction factors per GPU architecture (gaudi). See our full methodology.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many AI models can run on Gaudi 3?
The Gaudi 3 can run 278 AI models from our database within a single node. Compatible models range across various parameter sizes depending on the quantization precision (BF16, FP8, INT4). Smaller models fit on a single GPU while larger models may require multi-GPU setups up to 8x Gaudi 3.
What is the Gaudi 3 inference throughput?
The Gaudi 3 delivers 1835 BF16 TFLOPS and 3670 FP8 TFLOPS with 3700 GB/s memory bandwidth. Actual inference throughput (tokens/sec) depends on the model size, precision, and batch size. Use our calculator for model-specific throughput estimates.
