CodeT5-base on the GMKtec EVO-X3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1728k 378.2-459.6 t/s ~14.8-18 (slow)
Q8 yes 1732k 756.4-919.3 t/s ~29.5-35.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 1733k 1350.6-1641.6 t/s ~52.8-64.1 (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 CodeT5-base?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1350.6-1641.6 tok/s and fits up to 1733k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~52.8-64.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1733k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
