Updated: 2026-06-15

**No, not enough memory.** Needs ~64.2 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~23 GB is usable.

- Model: 109B (MoE, 17B active), Q4_K_M 60.87 GB
- Device: 24 GB vram, ~23 GB usable for weights
- Needs ~64.2 GB at Q4_K_M; recommended quant: n/a
- Best tool on Windows: LM Studio
- Command: `ollama run llama4:scout`

Estimate. Method: weights + KV cache + ~0.8GB overhead. Sources: https://ollama.com/library/llama4, https://ollama.com/library/llama4/tags, https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct-GGUF, https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct.
