M5Stack LLM8850 / Qwen3 1.7B
Can a M5Stack LLM8850 run Qwen3 1.7B?
Yes, usable but slower than reading speed. Measured generation speed: 7.38 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.
