Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Oryx 34B on the Apple M1 Ultra 64GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | — | — | — |
| Q8 | yes | 84k | 16-19.3 t/s | ~0.2-0.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 141k | 28.6-34.5 t/s | ~0.4-0.4 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
