Can a Jetson Orin NX 8GB run Gemma 2 9B?
Yes, usable but slower than reading speed. Measured generation speed: 8.8 tok/s across 1 public run.
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.
