can it run
Comfortably. 48GB of memory against a 4GB working set leaves headroom for context, the OS, and anything else you're running.
weights 1GB + KV cache 0.1GB at 4k context vs ~48GB usable → full. 1.1 GB needed of 48 GB usable — headroom for context
computed roofline: 864 GB/s × 0.46–0.76 efficiency window / 1.0GB (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).
