**No, not enough memory.** Needs ~5.8 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~4.5 GB is usable.

- Model: 7B, Q4_K_M 4.37 GB
- Device: 8 GB unified, ~4.5 GB usable for weights
- Needs ~5.8 GB at Q4_K_M; recommended quant: n/a
- Best tool on iOS: Apple Foundation Models

Estimate. Method: weights + KV cache + ~0.8GB overhead. Sources: https://ollama.com/library/mistral, https://ollama.com/library/mistral/tags, https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3-GGUF, https://lmarena.ai/leaderboard.
