QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1724k 237.7-288.9 t/s ~9.3-11.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 1730k 475.4-577.8 t/s ~18.6-22.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 1732k 849-1031.8 t/s ~33.2-40.3 (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 LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~849-1031.8 tok/s and fits up to 1732k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~33.2-40.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1732k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
