can it run
Yes, but close to the edge. 11GB against a 8GB working set: it runs, with little room for long context windows or other processes.
weights 6.2GB + KV cache 2GB at 4k context vs ~11GB usable → full. 8.2 GB needed of 11 GB usable — headroom for context
computed roofline: 484 GB/s × 0.28–0.50 efficiency window / 6.2GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
