Can the Apple M1 Max 64GB run TRIMELMlong (150M)?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
TRIMELMlong (150M) on the Apple M1 Max 64GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 851k | 906.7-1093.3 t/s | ~22.7-27.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 854k | 1813.3-2186.7 t/s | ~45.3-54.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 855k | 3238.1-3904.8 t/s | ~81-97.6 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
