Can I run Granite 4.1 30B on Google Pixel 9 Pro?
No. Granite 4.1 30B needs ~19.1 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Google Pixel 9 Pro only has ~10.5 GB usable.
Needs ~19.1 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 8.6 GB: Granite 4.1 30B needs roughly 19.1 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 Granite 4.1 30B is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) at 24 GB. See Granite 4.1 30B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB).
