Arc B570 · 10GB GDDR6

Can the Arc B570 run Phi-4 (14B)?

Fits, tight on context at Q4_K_M.

Phi-4 (14B) is 14.7B parameters. At Q4_K_M the weights are about 8.2 GiB; with the 1.5 GiB runtime reserve that is 9.7 GiB against the card's 10GB, leaving about 0.3 GiB for context.

Verdict rules: fits comfortably when weights plus reserve sit within 85% of VRAM; tight when they fit with little left for context; CPU offload when they exceed VRAM by up to 2x (runs, slowly, with layers in system RAM); no beyond that. The KV cache per token depends on the model's architecture and is not modelled here.

Good match. Get the card.
