// RUN — FITS

Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B)?

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

Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B) on the GMKtec EVO-X3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1688k 54-65.7 t/s ~2.1-2.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 1711k 108.1-131.3 t/s ~4.2-5.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 1722k 192.9-234.5 t/s ~7.5-9.2 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
