Can the Apple M1 Max 32GB run AbLang (heavy sequences)?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
AbLang (heavy sequences) on the Apple M1 Max 32GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 406k | 383.1-462 t/s | ~9.6-11.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 411k | 766.2-923.9 t/s | ~19.2-23.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 414k | 1368.2-1649.9 t/s | ~34.2-41.2 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
FAQ
Can the Apple M1 Max 32GB run AbLang (heavy sequences)?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1368.2-1649.9 tok/s and fits up to 414k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~34.2-41.2 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 414k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
