# Can I run Command R 35B on 16GB RAM Laptop (CPU/iGPU only)?

Updated: 2026-06-15

**No, not enough memory.** Needs ~22.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~12 GB is usable.

- Model: 35B, Q4_K_M 20.05 GB
- Device: 16 GB ram, ~12 GB usable for weights
- Needs ~22.3 GB at Q4_K_M; recommended quant: n/a
- Best tool on Windows: LM Studio
- Command: `ollama run command-r:35b`

Estimate. Method: weights + KV cache + ~0.8GB overhead. Sources: https://ollama.com/library/command-r, https://ollama.com/library/command-r/tags, https://huggingface.co/bartowski/c4ai-command-r-v01-GGUF, https://huggingface.co/CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01.
