Can I run Command R 35B on Google Pixel 9 Pro?
No. Command R 35B needs ~22.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Google Pixel 9 Pro only has ~10.5 GB usable.
Needs ~22.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~10.5 GB is usable.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes.
The gap is about 11.8 GB: Command R 35B needs roughly 22.3 GB at Q4_K_M and Google Pixel 9 Pro leaves only about 10.5 GB usable for a model. The lightest tracked hardware that runs Command R 35B is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) at 24 GB. See Command R 35B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB).

FAQ
Can Google Pixel 9 Pro run Command R 35B?
No. Command R 35B needs ~22.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Google Pixel 9 Pro only has ~10.5 GB usable.
How much memory does Command R 35B need?
Google Pixel 9 Pro does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~20.05 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~22.3 GB at a 4k context.
What is the best tool to run Command R 35B on Android?
On Android, PocketPal AI (Polished app, download GGUF and run offline.) is the go-to option. NPU acceleration is limited and chip-specific; most apps run on CPU. Expect 1B-4B class.

Weights are measured from GGUF files; KV cache and overhead are computed, so totals can vary ~15% with context and runtime. Any tok/s is a bandwidth estimate. See methodology.
