QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 367k 60.8-72.5 t/s ~2.2-2.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 392k 121.6-144.9 t/s ~4.5-5.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 403k 217.1-258.8 t/s ~8-9.5 (slow)

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

FAQ

Can the NVIDIA Jetson T3000 run minChatGPT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~217.1-258.8 tok/s and fits up to 403k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~8-9.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 403k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
