Can the Apple M1 Ultra 64GB run ProGen2-base?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ProGen2-base on the Apple M1 Ultra 64GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 833k | 356-429.3 t/s | ~4.5-5.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 844k | 712-858.6 t/s | ~8.9-10.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 849k | 1271.5-1533.3 t/s | ~15.9-19.2 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
