Yes, but it is tight

Yes, but it is tight — Granite 4.0 Small-H 32B-A9B at Q6_K needs about 28.9 GB of the 32 GB usable on Beelink SER9 (Ryzen AI 9, 32 GB), leaving only ~3.1 GB before the runtime starts swapping. Expect ~22 tok/s (estimated), with room for about 16,384 tokens of context.

Confidence: low · Recommended quantization: Q6_K · Estimated speed: ~22 tok/s
