Q8 yes 27k 21.3-25.9 t/s ~0.2-0.3 (slow)

Can the Huawei Ascend 950DT run AREX Base?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~38.1-46.3 tok/s and fits up to 191k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.4-0.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 191k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
