Can the Radeon AI Pro R9700 run Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE)?
We earn from qualifying purchases via affiliate links. Disclosure.
Yes. Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE) is a 16 GB download (default tag). The Radeon AI Pro R9700 gives the GPU 32 GB, leaving about 16 GB for context and runtime (our arithmetic).
Does it fit?
| Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE) memory | 16 GB at default tag (Ollama: gemma4 tags) |
|---|---|
| Radeon AI Pro R9700 GPU memory | 32 GB of VRAM (product listing). |
| Left over | About 16 GB (our arithmetic) |
| Verdict | Fits 4 GB or more to spare (our estimate bands) |
Recommended quantization and context
Use the default tag build that Ollama's tag downloads; the memory figure above is for that build. The model supports up to 256K of context, but longer context uses more memory. Ollama starts at a 4096-token context by default (Ollama FAQ).
With about 16 GB spare you have room to raise the context. Raise it in steps and re-check with ollama ps.
Run it
ollama run gemma4:26b-a4bThen check it's on the GPU:
ollama psThe PROCESSOR column should read 100% GPU. Driver setup for AMD cards on Windows, Linux and macOS, plus common fixes, is in the install and run section.

Can the Radeon AI Pro R9700 run Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE)?
Yes: Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE) needs 16 GB (default tag, Ollama library) and the Radeon AI Pro R9700 gives the GPU 32 GB, leaving about 16 GB. That leaves room to raise the context above the 4096-token default. The fit bands are our estimate.
How much VRAM does Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE) need?
16 GB for the default tag build in the Ollama library, plus roughly 1–4 GB for context and runtime (our estimate). See the 16 GB page for other models that fit.
What command runs Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE)?
ollama run gemma4:26b-a4b. Then run "ollama ps" and check the PROCESSOR column reads 100% GPU.
How fast is Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE) on the Radeon AI Pro R9700?
We don't list a speed because we have no sourced measurement for this pairing. Speed depends on memory bandwidth, quantization and context length.
