FAQ & Reference

Frequently Asked Questions: Meta Llama 3.1 405B Instruct on AMD Strix Halo Mini-PC (Ryzen AI Max+ 395 128GB)

How much VRAM does Meta Llama 3.1 405B Instruct need on AMD Strix Halo Mini-PC (Ryzen AI Max+ 395 128GB)?

At standard 4-bit quantization (Q4_K_M) with 32K context, Meta Llama 3.1 405B Instruct requires 260.72 GB of total VRAM (weights + KV cache + CUDA runtime overhead).

What inference speed will Meta Llama 3.1 405B Instruct achieve on AMD Strix Halo Mini-PC (Ryzen AI Max+ 395 128GB)?

Based on AMD Strix Halo Mini-PC (Ryzen AI Max+ 395 128GB)'s 256 GB/s memory bandwidth, expected decode speed is approximately 0 tokens per second.

Can I expand context beyond 32K tokens?

Each additional 32K tokens of context requires additional KV cache memory. For longer context windows, consider 8-bit or 4-bit KV cache quantization.
