Can the Apple M2 Max 96GB run Prithvi-EO-2.0 300M?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Prithvi-EO-2.0 300M on the Apple M2 Max 96GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1286k | 453.3-546.7 t/s | ~11.3-13.7 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1291k | 906.7-1093.3 t/s | ~22.7-27.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1293k | 1619-1952.4 t/s | ~40.5-48.8 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
