Compatibility verdict VRAM threshold engine
No, not enough memory would not load

No. Ornith 1.0 35B needs ~23.2 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM) only has ~4.5 GB usable.

Needs ~23.2 GB Device usable ~4.5 GB

Needs ~23.2 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 18.7 GB: Ornith 1.0 35B needs roughly 23.2 GB at Q4_K_M and Generic Android Phone (8GB RAM) leaves only about 4.5 GB usable for a model. The lightest tracked hardware that runs Ornith 1.0 35B is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) at 32 GB. See Ornith 1.0 35B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB).
