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 DataGemma?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~17.9-21.5 tok/s and fits up to 46k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.4-0.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 46k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
