Can I run Kimi K2.7 Code on Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM)?
No. Kimi K2.7 Code needs ~592.1 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM) only has ~4.5 GB usable.
Needs ~592.1 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~4.5 GB is usable.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes.
The gap is about 587.6 GB: Kimi K2.7 Code needs roughly 592.1 GB at Q4_K_M and Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM) leaves only about 4.5 GB usable for a model. No single tracked device has enough memory; Kimi K2.7 Code needs a multi-GPU or high-memory rig.

FAQ
Can Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM) run Kimi K2.7 Code?
No. Kimi K2.7 Code needs ~592.1 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM) only has ~4.5 GB usable.
How much memory does Kimi K2.7 Code need?
Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM) does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~583.71 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~592.1 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (1000B total / 32B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.
What is the best tool to run Kimi K2.7 Code 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.
