can it run
26.5 GB vs 24 GB usable — partial CPU offload, expect large speed loss With a q8 (quantized) KV cache it comes to the edge (26.2GB) — possible with modest context, at some quality cost.

computed roofline: 1008 GB/s × 0.46–0.76 efficiency window / 3.9GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
MoE: file is 26GB (that decides fit) but only ~1.05B of experts activate per token (~3.9GB streamed) — band below is the active-expert estimate, optimistic; community MoE rows run several× the naive bandwidth math
