Yes, but it is tight

Yes, but it is tight — 1-bit Bonsai 27B at Q8_0 needs about 31.2 GB of the 32 GB usable on Beelink SER9 (Ryzen AI 9, 32 GB), leaving only ~0.8 GB before the runtime starts swapping. Expect ~6.4 tok/s (estimated), with room for about 8,192 tokens of context.

Confidence: low · Recommended quantization: Q8_0 · Estimated speed: ~6.4 tok/s
