Can the UP Squared Pro 7000 (16 GB) run Qwen2.5 Coder 14B Instruct?

46Fair quality (C) · 46 of 100: how capable the model is at Q2_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 50/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, but slowly (over GPU memory limit)

Slow (over GPU memory limit). At Q2_K it needs about 8.8 GB of 8.0 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 3.4 tok/s.

  • Gives you direct control of how many layers sit on the GPU, the best way to squeeze a model that doesn’t quite fit.
  • Supports Intel Arc through SYCL and Vulkan.

How it’s rated

Quality 46Fair quality (C) · 46 of 100: how capable the model is at Q2_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 50/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q2_K, 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 Slowover GPU memory limit
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.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.20.8 / 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.10.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.4.4 / 15

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

Other hardware that runs it

Quick answers

How much memory does Qwen2.5 Coder 14B Instruct need on the UP Squared Pro 7000 16GB?

At Q2_K it needs about 8.8 GB. The UP Squared Pro 7000 16GB has 8.0 GB usable.

How fast is Qwen2.5 Coder 14B Instruct on the UP Squared Pro 7000 16GB?

About 3.4 tok/s at Q2_K, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of Qwen2.5 Coder 14B Instruct should I use on the UP Squared Pro 7000 16GB?

Q2_K. 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.
