Frequently asked questions

Can Qwen 2.5-VL 7B (VLM) run on AMD MI325X 288GB?

Yes. Qwen 2.5-VL 7B (VLM) at FP16 needs 17.8 GB including the KV cache, and AMD MI325X 288GB has 288 GB — so it fits on a single GPU.

How fast is Qwen 2.5-VL 7B (VLM) on AMD MI325X 288GB?

278.6 tokens/sec per stream and 3343 tok/s aggregate with continuous batching at 8 concurrent users. Time to first token is 209.1 ms, and inter-token latency is 3.6 ms.

What does Qwen 2.5-VL 7B (VLM) on AMD MI325X 288GB cost per million tokens?

$0.2908 per 1M output tokens at 1× AMD MI325X 288GB ($3.50/hr). That is the marginal hardware cost — add idle capacity, ops, and egress for the real figure.

How much VRAM does Qwen 2.5-VL 7B (VLM) need on AMD MI325X 288GB?

14.0 GB for the weights at FP16, plus 3.8 GB of KV cache for 8 concurrent requests at 8K context — 17.8 GB total. Every extra concurrent user at long context costs more, so leave headroom.

Is AMD MI325X 288GB the right choice for Qwen 2.5-VL 7B (VLM)?

It works. Compare $0.2908 per 1M tokens against the alternatives below — the cheapest option that fits the same workload is 2× RTX 3080 10GB at $0.0772, and the fastest is 1× Cerebras CS-3 (WSE-3) at 11143 tok/s.
