Yes. The Intel Arc B580 can run Phi-4 Reasoning 14B fully in VRAM at Q4_K_M (good, most popular), using about 11.2 GB of the 12 GB available, at roughly 31 tokens/second.

Run it with Ollama

With Ollama installed, one command downloads and starts Phi-4 Reasoning 14B:

ollama run phi4-reasoning:14b

Ollama's default download is Q4_K_M (about 11.2 GB here). That is also the best quant that fits.
