Can I run MiniCPM-V 4.6 on Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM)?
Yes. MiniCPM-V 4.6 runs on Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM) at Q4_K_M (~1.6 GB of ~4.5 GB usable).
Runs at Q4_K_M using ~1.6 GB of ~4.5 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. Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM) leaves ~2.9 GB of headroom, room to step up to FP16 for higher quality.
