AMD Instinct MI325X Accelerator

256 GB decides what fits. 6000 GB/s decides how fast it runs once it does.

Quick answer
The AMD Instinct MI325X Accelerator fits 283 of 320 sized models entirely in its 256 GB; the largest widely used one is Qwen3.5-397B-A17B (248.9 GB at Q4_K_M). Memory decides what fits; its 6000 GB/s of bandwidth decides how fast it answers.

At 8,192 tokens of context with the whole model in device memory. Speeds are estimates from memory bandwidth, not benchmarks run on this card.

283 of 320 fit entirely

283 of the 320 models the engine can size fit entirely in device memory at Q4_K_M where it is published, otherwise the nearest published format, and 8,192 tokens. 3 run with some layers on system memory (32 GB assumed), and 34 do not run at all.

These examples are selected from prominent labs using the catalogue’s latest Hugging Face 30-day downloads and repository-creation freshness signal, with newer releases guaranteed a place. Offloaded rows assume 32 GB of system RAM, and a speed is only shown for a row that runs. Fitting in memory is not the same as loading: whether the runtime and version you have supports each architecture and format on this machine has not been tested here. Each “Open” link carries the same model, format, context and RAM into the calculator.

Every model that fitswhole model resident · offload off

The most demanding model that fits is Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct at Q4_K_M: 248.9 GB of the 256 GB, leaving 7.07 GB spare.

Fully resident at 8,192 tokens (or the model’s own maximum, where that is shorter), offload off, at 6000 GB/s. Each row is a run of the engine for this configuration; the rows start with current, prominent releases and “fits” is memory, not a tested runtime. Older or less prominent models remain available through this search and “Show all”.

Caveats

  • Platform-level 2.048TB is not used as single-GPU capacity; the candidate retains AMD's exact per-OAM 256GB value.

Published capacity is a hardware ceiling, not guaranteed free runtime memory. The calculator shows the runtime reserve separately rather than folding it into a single number.
