Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B on the GMKtec EVO-X3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 274k | 4-4.8 t/s | ~0.2-0.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 354k | 7.9-9.6 t/s | ~0.3-0.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 389k | 14.1-17.2 t/s | ~0.6-0.7 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
