Every build
| Build | Quantization | Download | RAM needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32b-instruct-q4_K_MDefault | q4_K_M | 20 GB | 28 GB |
| 32b-instruct-q8_0 | q8_0 | 35 GB | 40 GB |
RAM figures are working-set recommendations: when GPU memory is short, the runtime spills to CPU and system memory instead of failing.
Install it
Pair a computer with idapt and install Qwen2.5 Coder 32B from the model page: the local engine bootstraps itself, pulls the build you pick, and streams progress. Or pull it directly:
ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:32b-instruct-q4_K_MFrequently asked
How much RAM do I need to run Qwen2.5 Coder 32B locally?
The smallest Qwen2.5 Coder 32B build runs with about 28 GB of system RAM; the largest needs 40 GB. RAM is the binding requirement: when GPU memory is short, the runtime spills to CPU and system memory instead of failing.
Which quantization of Qwen2.5 Coder 32B should I pick?
Start with the default 32b-instruct-q4_K_M build: a 20 GB download that wants about 28 GB of RAM. Smaller quantizations shrink the download and memory needs at some cost in output quality; larger ones do the reverse.
Do I need a GPU to run Qwen2.5 Coder 32B?
No. A GPU with enough VRAM makes generation faster, but Qwen2.5 Coder 32B runs on CPU and system RAM alone. Whether a build fits is decided by RAM; the GPU only changes speed.
How big is the Qwen2.5 Coder 32B download?
Between 20 GB and 35 GB, depending on the quantization you pick across 2 available builds.
Can idapt install Qwen2.5 Coder 32B for me?
Yes. Pair a computer with idapt and install Qwen2.5 Coder 32B from this page: the local engine bootstraps itself, pulls the build you pick (ollama pull qwen2.5-coder), and streams download progress. Local runs are not billed.
