Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run Pythia-1.4b?

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

Pythia-1.4b on the GMKtec EVO-X3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1692k 59.4-72.2 t/s ~2.3-2.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 1714k 118.9-144.5 t/s ~4.6-5.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 1723k 212.2-258 t/s ~8.3-10.1 (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 Pythia-1.4b?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~212.2-258 tok/s and fits up to 1723k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~8.3-10.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1723k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
