**No, not enough memory.** Needs ~8.6 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~4.5 GB is usable.

- Model: 12.2B, Q4_K_M 6.96 GB
- Device: 8 GB unified, ~4.5 GB usable for weights
- Needs ~8.6 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-nemo, https://ollama.com/library/mistral-nemo/tags, https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-GGUF, https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407.
