can it run
No. 16GB of memory can't hold the 22GB working set this model needs. A smaller quant or a bigger machine is required.
weights 17GB + KV cache 2GB at 4k context vs ~16GB usable → offload-partial. 19.0 GB vs 16 GB usable — partial CPU offload, expect large speed loss
computed roofline: 448 GB/s × 0.46–0.76 efficiency window / 17.0GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
