Can I run Qwen-AgentWorld 35B-A3B on 16GB RAM Laptop (CPU/iGPU only)?
No. Qwen-AgentWorld 35B-A3B needs ~24.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but 16GB RAM Laptop (CPU/iGPU only) only has ~12 GB usable.
Needs ~24.3 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 12.3 GB: Qwen-AgentWorld 35B-A3B needs roughly 24.3 GB at Q4_K_M and 16GB RAM Laptop (CPU/iGPU only) leaves only about 12 GB usable for a model. The lightest tracked hardware that runs Qwen-AgentWorld 35B-A3B is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) at 32 GB. See Qwen-AgentWorld 35B-A3B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB).

FAQ
Can 16GB RAM Laptop (CPU/iGPU only) run Qwen-AgentWorld 35B-A3B?
No. Qwen-AgentWorld 35B-A3B needs ~24.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but 16GB RAM Laptop (CPU/iGPU only) only has ~12 GB usable.
How much memory does Qwen-AgentWorld 35B-A3B need?
16GB RAM Laptop (CPU/iGPU only) does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~22.13 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~24.3 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (34.7B total / 3B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.
What is the best tool to run Qwen-AgentWorld 35B-A3B on Windows?
LM Studio for a simple setup; Ollama (CUDA) for the most speed. AMD GPUs run via Vulkan/ROCm at roughly half CUDA throughput. NVIDIA is the smooth path on Windows.

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.
