Will Phi-4 Mini run on your machine?
This is the same sizing the app uses - not a marketing estimate.
On Apple Silicon, system memory is also graphics memory - pick "None / integrated / Apple Silicon" and read the bars against your Mac's memory. The app checks your real hardware before every download.
