Naive N0.5 Flash (309B-A15.5B) on Intel Xeon W-2100 series NAS (256 GB)

Can the Intel Xeon W-2100 series NAS (256 GB) run Naive N0.5 Flash (309B-A15.5B)?

Yes, but slowly (tight fit)

Slow (tight fit). At Q4_K_M it needs about 208 GB of 230 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 4.2 tok/s.

Best quant: Q4_K_M
Generation speed: 4.2 tok/s
Prompt processing: 23.2 tok/s
First token (1K prompt): 44.1 s
Largest safe context: 729K

How it’s rated

Quality 90Excellent quality (A+) · 90 of 100: how capable the model is at Q4_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 84/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at Q4_K_M, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Slowtight fit: How well it runs on the Intel Xeon W-2100 series NAS (256 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	40.6 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of the NAS’s memory that models can use (the rest stays with the NAS system and its storage services); fewer when it goes past that limit.	24.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	4.8 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	15.0 / 15
Match score	84.5 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Memory figures assume 8K of context. Longer conversations or documents grow the KV cache.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
