Can MI300X 192GB run Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct?

AMD · 192 GB HBM3 · 5300 GB/s bandwidth · Meta · 109.0B (active 17.0B) · MoE · model ctx up to 10240K

Yes — the MI300X 192GB (192 GB HBM3) can run Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 64.35 GB VRAM (weights 59.95 GB + KV cache 3.4 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 192 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 198.4 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 222.4 GB — does not fit on this card. 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	62.65 GB	Yes	198.4 est.
Q4	8K default	64.35 GB	Yes	198.4 est.
Q4	32K	74.55 GB	Yes	198.4 est.
FP16	4K	220.7 GB	No	118.0 est.
FP16	8K default	222.4 GB	No	116.2 est.
FP16	32K	232.6 GB	No	106.2 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).
