Surya on the Apple M1 Max 64GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 845k | 371.6-448.1 t/s | ~9.3-11.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 850k | 743.2-896.2 t/s | ~18.6-22.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 853k | 1327.1-1600.3 t/s | ~33.2-40 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
