// RUN โ€” FITS

Can the Apple M2 Max 32GB run GLM-10B-unidirectional?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

GLM-10B-unidirectional on the Apple M2 Max 32GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 45k 13.6-16.4 t/s ~0.3-0.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 106k 27.2-32.8 t/s ~0.7-0.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 132k 48.6-58.6 t/s ~1.2-1.5 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the Apple M2 Max 32GB run GLM-10B-unidirectional?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~48.6-58.6 tok/s and fits up to 132k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~1.2-1.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 132k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
