Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run GPT-2 (124M)?

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

GPT-2 (124M) on the GMKtec EVO-X3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1731k 671-815.5 t/s ~26.2-31.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 1733k 1341.9-1631 t/s ~52.4-63.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 1734k 2396.3-2912.4 t/s ~93.6-113.8 (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 GPT-2 (124M)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2396.3-2912.4 tok/s and fits up to 1734k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~93.6-113.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1734k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
