Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run Pythia-410m?

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

Pythia-410m on the GMKtec EVO-X3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1722k 202.9-246.6 t/s ~7.9-9.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 1729k 405.9-493.3 t/s ~15.9-19.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 1731k 724.7-880.8 t/s ~28.3-34.4 (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-410m?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~724.7-880.8 tok/s and fits up to 1731k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~28.3-34.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1731k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
