can it run
Comfortably. 128GB of memory against a 4GB working set leaves headroom for context, the OS, and anything else you're running.
weights 1.3GB + KV cache 0.12GB at 4k context vs ~126GB usable → full. 1.4 GB needed of 126 GB usable — headroom for context
computed roofline: 256 GB/s × 0.60–0.85 efficiency window / 1.3GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points. Small models (under ~4.5B) run BELOW these bands — kernel-launch overhead keeps them from saturating bandwidth (measured against community medians, 09-06).
