Command R+ 104B needs ~69.4 GB but RX 9070 16GB only has 16.0 GB. Try a smaller quantization or lighter model.
Operating mode
Interactive favors responsiveness, while light API and scale-out lean harder on serving readiness. The fit stays the same, but the recommendation lens changes.
Current mode
Balanced
Balanced for general local use. Keeps the ranking neutral across personal and serving workflows.

Usable VRAM is the main blocker for this model.
Not enough usable memory
The model needs 69.4 GB, but this setup only exposes 16.0 GB of usable VRAM.
Add more VRAM headroom
The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.

No, Command R+ 104B requires more memory than RX 9070 16GB provides.
Command R+ 104B (104B parameters) requires approximately 69.4 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Command R+ 104B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On RX 9070 16GB, Command R+ 104B achieves approximately 2.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 96800ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Command R+ 104B on RX 9070 16GB receives a F grade with 2.0 tok/s and 4K context.
On RX 9070 16GB, Command R+ 104B can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 131K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Add more VRAM headroom. The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.
