FAQ

Can Google Pixel 9 Pro run Qwen3-Coder 480B-A35B Instruct?

No. Qwen3-Coder 480B-A35B Instruct needs ~276.2 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Google Pixel 9 Pro only has ~10.5 GB usable.

How much memory does Qwen3-Coder 480B-A35B Instruct need?

Google Pixel 9 Pro does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~270.14 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~276.2 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (480B total / 35B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.

What is the best tool to run Qwen3-Coder 480B-A35B Instruct on Android?

On Android, PocketPal AI (Polished app, download GGUF and run offline.) is the go-to option. NPU acceleration is limited and chip-specific; most apps run on CPU. Expect 1B-4B class.

Sources

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.
