Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run Adaptive Inputs + LayerDrop?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

Adaptive Inputs + LayerDrop on the GMKtec EVO-X3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1722k 196.7-239.1 t/s ~7.7-9.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 1728k 393.4-478.1 t/s ~15.4-18.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 1731k 702.5-853.8 t/s ~27.4-33.4 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run Adaptive Inputs + LayerDrop?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~702.5-853.8 tok/s and fits up to 1731k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~27.4-33.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1731k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
