Jiutian on the Apple M2 Max 32GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | — | — | — |
| Q8 | yes | 82k | 19.6-23.6 t/s | ~0.5-0.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 119k | 34.9-42.1 t/s | ~0.9-1.1 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
