Can the Surface Laptop Ultra (24GB) run llava 7B?

YES

Comfortably. 24GB of memory against a 6GB working set leaves headroom for context, the OS, and anything else you're running.

~15–38 tok/s

weights 4.7GB + KV cache 2GB at 4k context vs ~22GB usable → full. 6.7 GB needed of 22 GB usable — headroom for context

computed roofline: 273 GB/s × 0.25–0.65 efficiency window / 4.7GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
