Can a Rockchip RK3588 run Qwen2.5 1.5B?
Yes, at a comfortable chat speed. Measured generation speed: 16.69 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.
