can it run

Can the CPU-only (DDR3 dual-channel) run llava 7B?

OFFLOAD PARTIAL

6.7 GB vs 6 GB usable — partial CPU offload, expect large speed loss With a q8 (quantized) KV cache it comes to the edge (5.7GB) — possible with modest context, at some quality cost.

~6GB usable · CPU (DDR3) · model file 4.7GB · 7B

~2.5–3.8 tok/s

computed roofline: 25.6 GB/s × 0.45–0.70 efficiency window / 4.7GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
