Pythia-1b on the Jetson Thor T2000

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 166k 50-59.6 t/s ~3.7-4.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 182k 100-119.2 t/s ~7.3-8.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 188k 178.6-212.8 t/s ~13-15.5 (slow)

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

FAQ

Can the Jetson Thor T2000 run Pythia-1b?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~178.6-212.8 tok/s and fits up to 188k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~13-15.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 188k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
