Can the NVIDIA L4 run gemma3 4B?

~50–80 tok/s

computed roofline: 300 GB/s × 0.55–0.88 efficiency window / 3.3GB (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).

Run gemma3 4B on instead
