Can the Apple M2 Max 96GB run Transformer (Adaptive Input Embeddings) WT103?

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

Transformer (Adaptive Input Embeddings) WT103 on the Apple M2 Max 96GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1288k 550.6-664 t/s ~13.8-16.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 1292k 1101.2-1327.9 t/s ~27.5-33.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 1293k 1966.5-2371.3 t/s ~49.2-59.3 (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 96GB run Transformer (Adaptive Input Embeddings) WT103?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1966.5-2371.3 tok/s and fits up to 1293k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~49.2-59.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1293k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
