Beelink SER9 (Ryzen AI 9, 32 GB) — what it gives a model

Llama 3.2 Vision on Beelink SER9 (Ryzen AI 9, 32 GB): memory by quantization

Which Llama 3.2 Vision sizes fit

What to watch out for

• 1 larger variant of Llama 3.2 Vision does not fit and would need CPU offload or different hardware.

Beelink SER9 32 GB limitations

• Shares system memory with the iGPU, so the usable model budget is well below the nominal 32 GB.
• Memory bandwidth, not capacity, is the limit here — expect single-digit tokens/sec on large models.

Recommended setup

Ollama or llama.cpp (CUDA/ROCm) — vLLM if you need concurrent serving

How these numbers are calculated

• Memory need = quantized weights + KV cache at 8,192 tokens (f16) + 0.8 GB runtime overhead.
• 32 GB unified memory at 256 GB/s, shared between CPU and GPU.
• Throughput is a memory-bandwidth roofline estimate, not a measurement. It is labelled "estimated" everywhere it appears.
• KV cache is computed from this model's published attention configuration.

FAQ

Can I run Llama 3.2 Vision on Beelink SER9 (Ryzen AI 9, 32 GB)?

Yes, comfortably — Llama 3.2 Vision 11B at Q8_0 needs about 13.4 GB of the 32 GB usable on Beelink SER9 (Ryzen AI 9, 32 GB), leaving ~18.6 GB spare and running at ~15.5 tok/s (estimated), with room for about 65,536 tokens of context.

Which quantization of Llama 3.2 Vision should I use on Beelink SER9 (Ryzen AI 9, 32 GB)?

Q8_0 — it needs about 13.4 GB of the 32 GB available, downloads as roughly 11.3 GB, and runs at an estimated 15.5 tokens/sec with up to 64K of context.

What limits Llama 3.2 Vision on Beelink SER9 (Ryzen AI 9, 32 GB)?

Nothing binding — the model fits with headroom and generates at a usable speed on this hardware.

Which runtime should I use?
