**No, not enough memory.** Needs ~20.7 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~16 GB is usable.

- Model: 32B, Q4_K_M 18.49 GB
- Device: 24 GB unified, ~16 GB usable for weights
- Needs ~20.7 GB at Q4_K_M; recommended quant: n/a
- Best tool on macOS: LM Studio
- Command: `ollama run qwen2.5-coder:32b`

Estimate. Method: weights + KV cache + ~0.8GB overhead. Sources: https://ollama.com/library/qwen2.5-coder, https://ollama.com/library/qwen2.5-coder/tags, https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct-GGUF, https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct.
