WA Can I run Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B on Apple M1 (8GB)?
Needs ~8 GB at Q4 GGUF, but only ~5.5 GB is usable on Apple M1 (8GB). With aggressive CPU offload it can run on as little as ~5 GB, much slower.

How much VRAM does Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B need?
Apple M1 (8GB) does not have enough memory. At Q4 GGUF the realistic peak is ~8 GB of VRAM, versus ~24 GB with every component kept resident (no offload). With aggressive CPU offload it drops to ~5 GB, much slower.
