Can the NVIDIA Jetson T3000 run phi-3-mini 3.8B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
phi-3-mini 3.8B on the NVIDIA Jetson T3000
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 301k | 26.2-31.3 t/s | ~1-1.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 359k | 52.4-62.5 t/s | ~1.9-2.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 384k | 93.7-111.6 t/s | ~3.4-4.1 (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 phi-3-mini 3.8B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~93.7-111.6 tok/s and fits up to 384k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~3.4-4.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 384k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
