Can I run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 32B on AMD Ryzen AI Halo (128GB)?

Compatibility verdict VRAM threshold engine
Yes, it runs GPU accelerated ~8 tok/s est.

Yes. DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 32B runs on AMD Ryzen AI Halo (128GB) at Q4_K_M (~22.1 GB of ~96 GB usable).

Needs ~22.1 GB Device usable ~96 GB

Runs at Q4_K_M using ~22.1 GB of ~96 GB usable. You have room for FP16 for higher quality.

That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. AMD Ryzen AI Halo (128GB) leaves ~73.9 GB of headroom, room to step up to FP16 for higher quality.

Running cost · estimate

Power & economics est.
Power draw
~120 W
Electricity / 1M tokens
~$0.62

At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~8 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.62 in electricity. TDP is the peak draw, so this is an upper bound. Assumptions.
