Can I run Apple OpenELM 3B on AMD Ryzen AI Halo (128GB)?

Compatibility verdict VRAM threshold engine
Yes, it runs GPU accelerated ~95 tok/s est.

Yes. Apple OpenELM 3B runs on AMD Ryzen AI Halo (128GB) at Q4_K_M (~3 GB of ~96 GB usable).

Needs ~3 GB Device usable ~96 GB

Runs at Q4_K_M using ~3 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 ~93 GB of headroom, room to step up to FP16 for higher quality.

Electricity / 1M tokens

Pays for itself after
~8,887M tok

At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~95 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.05 in electricity. Versus a hosted API at ~$0.5 per million tokens, the ~$3,999 AMD Ryzen AI Halo (128GB) pays for itself after roughly 8,887 million tokens, so local hardware is mostly a fixed cost, not a per-token one. TDP is the peak draw, so this is an upper bound. Assumptions.
