Can the Apple M1 Max 64GB run Hyena-2 153M?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Hyena-2 153M on the Apple M1 Max 64GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 851k | 888.9-1071.9 t/s | ~22.2-26.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 854k | 1777.8-2143.8 t/s | ~44.4-53.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 855k | 3174.6-3828.2 t/s | ~79.4-95.7 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
