Short answer
No. It doesn't fit in memory.
Needs ≈45 GB but only ≈24 GB is available after the OS, other apps and Open WebUI.
Why it doesn’t fit
Even its smallest practical version (Q4_K_M) needs about 45 GB for the model, its context memory and the runtime. After Windows (≈4.5 GB), a browser with a few tabs (≈3.0 GB) and Open WebUI (≈1.0 GB), Laptop · Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Radeon 890M) · 32 GB has about 24 GB left, so it’s 22 GB short.
Ways to make it work
Close everything else
Not enough on its own: with every other app closed it’s still about 19 GB short.
