Can the UP Squared Pro 7000 (16 GB) run Falcon-H1R 7B?

53Fair quality (C) · 53 of 100: how capable the model is at Q4_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 69/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, but slowly

Slow. At Q4_K_M it needs about 6.2 GB of 8.0 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 4.7 tok/s.

How it’s rated

Quality 53Fair quality (C) · 53 of 100: how capable the model is at Q4_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 69/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q4_K_M, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Slow
How well it runs on the UP Squared Pro 7000 (16 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Other hardware that runs it

Quick answers

How much memory does Falcon-H1R 7B need on the UP Squared Pro 7000 16GB?

At Q4_K_M it needs about 6.2 GB. The UP Squared Pro 7000 16GB has 8.0 GB usable.

How fast is Falcon-H1R 7B on the UP Squared Pro 7000 16GB?

About 4.7 tok/s at Q4_K_M, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of Falcon-H1R 7B should I use on the UP Squared Pro 7000 16GB?

Q4_K_M. Of the versions that fit, it is the one that runs best; when two run equally well, the check prefers the higher-rated one.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
