can it run
Yes, but close to the edge. 32GB against a 29GB working set: it runs, with little room for long context windows or other processes.
weights 23GB + KV cache 2GB at 4k context vs ~32GB usable → full. 25.0 GB needed of 32 GB usable — headroom for context
computed roofline: 897 GB/s × 0.46–0.76 efficiency window / 23.0GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
