Wan 2.1 I2V 14B 480P on Raspberry Pi 5 (16 GB)

Can the Raspberry Pi 5 (16 GB) run Wan 2.1 I2V 14B 480P?

Barely: it runs very slowly (CPU offload)

Very slow (CPU offload). At Q8 GGUF it needs about 10.8 GB of 13.6 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 68.0 h.

Best precision: Q8 GGUF
Memory mode: Sequential CPU offload
Time per clip: 68.0 h
Output: 832×480, 81 frames, 50 steps

Best app to run it on the Raspberry Pi 5 (16 GB)

On Linux on ARM boards

ComfyUI

Desktop app · runs on PyTorch (ComfyUI), GGUF via ComfyUI-GGUF

Runs this model with built-in or popular custom nodes; GGUF files load with ComfyUI-GGUF.

Get ComfyUI

How we choose: the files published for this model, your operating system and GPU, whether it fits fully in memory, and published speed tests (MLX vs llama.cpp on Apple silicon, vLLM vs llama.cpp vs Ollama on NVIDIA). Details.

How it’s rated

Quality 73Great quality (A) · 73 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8 GGUF, whatever it runs on. Match score 60/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at Q8 GGUF, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Very slowCPU offload: How well it runs on the Raspberry Pi 5 (16 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	33.0 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of unified memory the GPU can use; fewer when it goes past that limit.	12.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	0.4 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	15.0 / 15
Match score	60.4 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
