# Can I run Qwen2.5-VL 7B on 8GB RAM Laptop (CPU/iGPU only)?

Updated: 2026-06-15

**No, not enough memory.** Needs ~7.1 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~5 GB is usable.

- Model: 8.29B, Q4_K_M 5.62 GB
- Device: 8 GB ram, ~5 GB usable for weights
- Needs ~7.1 GB at Q4_K_M; recommended quant: n/a
- Best tool on Windows: LM Studio

Estimate. Method: weights + KV cache + ~0.8GB overhead. Sources: https://huggingface.co/ggml-org/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct-GGUF, https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct.
