OLMo 2 13B needs ~9.2 GB VRAM. Radeon PRO W7600 8GB has 8.0 GB. With Q2_K quantization, expect ~17 tok/s.
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.

Offload
30%
It fits through host-memory offload, and offload is the main reason performance drops.
CPU or host-memory offload is active
About 10% of the working set spills out of accelerator memory, which usually hurts latency and sustained decode throughput.
Very little memory headroom
You can run the model, but there is not much room left for longer context, bigger batches, extra apps, or future model updates.
Remove offload with more accelerator memory
Prioritize a GPU or unified-memory tier that fits the whole model natively. Removing offload usually helps more than small compute gains.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit
A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.
Increase host RAM if you keep offloading
This setup may need roughly 0.7 GB of extra host RAM just for the offloaded portion, before OS and other tools.

Yes, Radeon PRO W7600 8GB can run OLMo 2 13B at Q2_K quantization (Very compromised (needs ~0.7 GB host RAM)). The recommended Q4_K_M requires 12.1 GB which exceeds available memory, but at Q2_K it needs only 9.2 GB. Expected decode speed: 17.1 tok/s.
OLMo 2 13B (13B parameters) requires approximately 12.1 GB at Q4_K_M quantization. On Radeon PRO W7600 8GB, it fits at Q2_K using 9.2 GB.
The recommended quantization is Q4_K_M, but on Radeon PRO W7600 8GB the best fitting quantization is Q2_K, which uses 9.2 GB.
On Radeon PRO W7600 8GB, OLMo 2 13B achieves approximately 17.1 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 11289ms using Q2_K quantization.
For coding workloads, OLMo 2 13B on Radeon PRO W7600 8GB receives a F grade with 7.3 tok/s and 4K context.
On Radeon PRO W7600 8GB, OLMo 2 13B can safely use up to 8K tokens of context at Q2_K quantization. The model's official context limit is 33K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
