No — Nemotron-3-Nano-Omni-30B-A3B-Reasoning-BF16 at Q4 needs ≈ 17.52 GB even at 4K context, beyond the Tesla P4 8GB's 8 GB GDDR5. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 24.1 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 61.03 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. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	17.52 GB	No	24.1 ± est.
Q4	8K default	17.53 GB	No	24.1 ± est.
Q4	32K	17.62 GB	No	23.8 ± est.
FP16	4K	61.02 GB	No	—
FP16	8K default	61.03 GB	No	—
FP16	32K	61.12 GB	No	—

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).
