Yes, but it is tight
Yes, but it is tight — Laguna XS 2.1 33B-A3B at Q6_K needs about 29.7 GB of the 32 GB usable on Beelink SER9 (Ryzen AI 9, 32 GB), leaving only ~2.3 GB before the runtime starts swapping. Expect ~25.1 tok/s (estimated), with room for about 16,384 tokens of context.
Confidence: low · Recommended quantization: Q6_K · Estimated speed: ~25.1 tok/s

What to watch out for
- This model does not publish its full attention configuration, so the KV-cache share of these figures is inferred from its parameter count rather than computed exactly.
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 120 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 inferred from the parameter count because this model does not publish its full attention configuration.
