can it run
No. 16GB of memory can't hold the 29GB working set this model needs. A smaller quant or a bigger machine is required.
weights 23GB + KV cache 2GB at 4k context vs ~16GB usable → no. 25.0 GB vs 16 GB usable — does not fit
computed roofline: 320 GB/s × 0.48–0.72 efficiency window / 23.0GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
