No. Nimble 9B (Bespoke Labs, decision) does not fit on M2 8GB: Q4_K_M needs 6.6 GB and 5.4 GB is usable.
Hardware: M2 8GB · Model: Nimble 9B (Bespoke Labs, decision)
M2 8GB has 8 GB of unified memory and 100 GB/s of memory bandwidth. M3 8GB has the same memory and bandwidth, so the fit numbers match; this page is M2 8GB. The checker leaves macOS a share of unified memory, so Ollama can use 5.4 GB. Nimble 9B (Bespoke Labs, decision) (9B, Bespoke Labs) at Q4_K_M is a 5.6 GB download and needs 6.6 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
