Can I run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 14B on Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra?
No. DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 14B needs ~10.7 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra only has ~8.5 GB usable.
Needs ~10.7 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~8.5 GB is usable.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes.
The gap is about 2.2 GB: DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 14B needs roughly 10.7 GB at Q4_K_M and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra leaves only about 8.5 GB usable for a model. The lightest tracked hardware that runs DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 14B is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 (12GB) at 12 GB. See DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 14B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 (12GB).

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.
