Can I run Muse Glimmer 30B on Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (16GB, 1TB config)?
No. Muse Glimmer 30B needs ~18.2 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (16GB, 1TB config) only has ~12 GB usable.
Needs ~18.2 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~12 GB is usable.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes.
The gap is about 6.2 GB: Muse Glimmer 30B needs roughly 18.2 GB at Q4_K_M and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (16GB, 1TB config) leaves only about 12 GB usable for a model. The lightest tracked hardware that runs Muse Glimmer 30B is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) at 24 GB. See Muse Glimmer 30B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB).
