Can the Jetson Orin NX (16GB) run gemma3 1B?

FULL

1.1 GB needed of 14 GB usable — headroom for context

~14GB usable · Jetson Orin (Ampere iGPU) · model file 1.0GB · 1B

~26–56 tok/s

computed roofline: 102.4 GB/s × 0.25–0.55 efficiency window / 1.0GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points. Small models (under ~4.5B) run BELOW these bands — kernel-launch overhead keeps them from saturating bandwidth (measured against community medians, 09-06).
