Can the Apple M1 Max 32GB run ERNIE-Doc Base (151M, WT103)?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ERNIE-Doc Base (151M, WT103) on the Apple M1 Max 32GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 412k | 900.7-1086.1 t/s | ~22.5-27.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 414k | 1801.3-2172.2 t/s | ~45-54.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 415k | 3216.7-3878.9 t/s | ~80.4-97 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
