Can Ryzen AI Max+ 395 128GB run Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct?

ROCM

Yes — the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 128GB (96 GB LPDDR5X) can run Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 7.0 GB VRAM (weights 4.4 GB + KV cache 1.6 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 96 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 17.1 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 18.6 GB) also fits, at ≈ 4.7 tok/s (estimated). Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	6.2 GB	Yes	17.1 est.
Q4	8K default	7.0 GB	Yes	17.1 est.
Q4	32K	11.8 GB	Yes	17.1 est.
FP16	4K	17.8 GB	Yes	4.7 est.
FP16	8K default	18.6 GB	Yes	4.7 est.
FP16	32K	23.4 GB	Yes	4.7 est.

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
