// RUN — FITS
Can the Apple M1 Max 32GB run ConoDL?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ConoDL on the Apple M1 Max 32GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 380k | 113.3-136.7 t/s | ~2.8-3.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 398k | 226.7-273.3 t/s | ~5.7-6.8 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 406k | 404.8-488.1 t/s | ~10.1-12.2 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
