Can the Apple M1 Max 64GB run Zagreus 0.4B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Zagreus 0.4B on the Apple M1 Max 64GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 844k | 340-410 t/s | ~8.5-10.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 850k | 680-820 t/s | ~17-20.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 853k | 1214.3-1464.3 t/s | ~30.4-36.6 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
