Mage-Flow (Microsoft) on 32 GB of VRAM
Yes. 16-bit fits on 32 GB with 22.0 GB to spare. Microsoft's 4B native-resolution model from July 2026, with separate Turbo (4-step) and Edit checkpoints of the same size. Light enough for most GPUs.
Runs well
Yes, with room to spare.
16-bit (8.2 GB) needs about 10.0 GB in use, so 22.0 GB of the 32 GB stays free: room for a larger image, a LoRA or a ControlNet.
