Can the Huawei Ascend 950DT run Zephyr 141B-A39B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~32.9-40 tok/s and fits up to 159k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.3-0.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 159k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
