// RUN โ€” FITS

Can the Apple M1 Max 32GB run DEQ-Transformer (Medium, Adaptive Embedding)?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

DEQ-Transformer (Medium, Adaptive Embedding) on the Apple M1 Max 32GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 413k 1236.4-1490.9 t/s ~30.9-37.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 415k 2472.7-2981.8 t/s ~61.8-74.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 416k 4415.6-5324.7 t/s ~110.4-133.1 (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 DEQ-Transformer (Medium, Adaptive Embedding)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~4415.6-5324.7 tok/s and fits up to 416k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~110.4-133.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 416k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
