Can Laptop · Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Radeon 890M) · 32 GB run LFM2.5 24B-A2B?
32 GB unified · 120 GB/s memory bandwidth · LFM2.5 24B-A2B has 24B parameters (2B active per token).
Short answer
Yes, excellent for chat and acceptable or better for every workload we test.
Best quantization for chat: Q4_K_M (14 GB of weights) on Lemonade. Generation: 35–60 tok/s, leaving about 8.9 GB free for your other apps.
How it rates for each workload
Same model and machine, different jobs. Agents and long documents send far bigger prompts than chat, so they need much more speed and memory.
