Yes — the Tesla P4 8GB (8 GB GDDR5) can run Ornith-1.0-9B. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 7.75 GB VRAM (weights 4.95 GB + KV cache 1.8 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 8 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 13.6 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 20.8 GB — does not fit on this card. Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s.

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
