can it run
Yes, but close to the edge. 256GB against a 212GB working set: it runs, with little room for long context windows or other processes.
weights 168.9GB + KV cache 2GB at 4k context vs ~32GB usable → no. 170.9 GB vs 32 GB usable — does not fit
computed roofline: 1792 GB/s × 0.55–0.80 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
