I'd go for at least 32GB+. It'll fit in 24GB but leaves you little to no room for context, and that's at 4-bit quantization.

If you want to run unquantized, you definitely need 128GB.

Nobody runs unquantized, there's literally no reason to. Q8 would be the largest anyone actually runs on consumer hardware for inference.

It also comes down to inference speed, not "can I run this". 8-bit quant is quite a bit slower on an M5 Pro.
