Jetson Orin Nano Super / DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 1.5B
Can a Jetson Orin Nano Super run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 1.5B?
Yes, usable but slower than reading speed. Measured generation speed: 6.01–9.59 tok/s across 2 public runs.
Rule of thumb: 10+ tok/s feels like a chat; 4–10 is usable for assistants and automations; under 4 is batch-job territory. Speeds depend on quantization, runtime, context length and cooling. Check each source.
