**Yes, it runs.** Runs at Q4_K_M using ~2.2 GB of ~28 GB usable. You have room for FP16 for higher quality.

- Model: 1.54B, Q4_K_M 1.12 GB
- Device: 32 GB ram, ~28 GB usable for weights
- Needs ~2.2 GB at Q4_K_M; recommended quant: Q4_K_M
- Best tool on Windows: LM Studio
- Command: `ollama run qwen2.5:1.5b`
