Can the Apple M1 Max 64GB run AWD-LSTM-DRILL + dynamic evaluation† (PTB)?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
AWD-LSTM-DRILL + dynamic evaluation† (PTB) on the Apple M1 Max 64GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 855k | 5666.7-6833.3 t/s | ~141.7-170.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 856k | 11333.3-13666.7 t/s | ~283.3-341.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 856k | 20238.1-24404.8 t/s | ~506-610.1 (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 64GB run AWD-LSTM-DRILL + dynamic evaluation† (PTB)?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~20238.1-24404.8 tok/s and fits up to 856k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~506-610.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 856k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
