can it run
No. 16GB of memory can't hold the 212GB working set this model needs. A smaller quant or a bigger machine is required.
weights 168.9GB + KV cache 2GB at 4k context vs ~16GB usable → no. 170.9 GB vs 16 GB usable — does not fit
computed roofline: 160.4 GB/s × 0.28–0.50 efficiency window / 25.3GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
MoE: file is 168.9GB (that decides fit) but only ~82.8B of experts activate per token (~25.3GB streamed) — band below is the active-expert estimate, optimistic; community MoE rows run several× the naive bandwidth math
