Can the Arduino UNO Q (4 GB) run Nemotron Content Safety Reasoning 4B?

74Great quality (A) · 74 of 100: how capable the model is at Q4_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 10/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

No, it doesn’t fit

No. Nemotron Content Safety Reasoning 4B needs about 3.7 GB even at Q4_K_M; the Arduino UNO Q (4 GB) has 2.8 GB usable.

How it’s rated

Quality 74Great quality (A) · 74 of 100: how capable the model is at Q4_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 10/100 (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 Won't run
How well it runs on the Arduino UNO Q (4 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.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.10.0 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of unified memory the GPU can use; fewer when it goes past that limit.0.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.0.0 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.0.0 / 15
Match score10.0 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

It doesn’t fit, so only a reduced share of the quality points counts and fit, speed and memory use score zero.
