Can the Intel Atom C5125 NAS (64 GB) run Ornith 1.5 9B?

53Fair quality (C) · 53 of 100: how capable the model is at Q2_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 57/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, but slowly

Slow. At Q2_K it needs about 9.1 GB of 54.4 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 3.4 tok/s.

How it’s rated

Quality 53Fair quality (C) · 53 of 100: how capable the model is at Q2_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 57/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q2_K, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Slow
How well it runs on the Intel Atom C5125 NAS (64 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.24.3 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of the NAS’s memory that models can use (the rest stays with the NAS system and its storage services); fewer when it goes past that limit.25.0 / 25

Quick answers

How much memory does Ornith 1.5 9B need on the Intel Atom C5125 NAS 64GB?

At Q2_K it needs about 9.1 GB. The Intel Atom C5125 NAS 64GB has 54.4 GB usable.

How fast is Ornith 1.5 9B on the Intel Atom C5125 NAS 64GB?

About 3.4 tok/s at Q2_K, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of Ornith 1.5 9B should I use on the Intel Atom C5125 NAS 64GB?

Q2_K. Of the versions that fit, it is the one that runs best; when two run equally well, the check prefers the higher-rated one.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
