Can the Apple M2 Ultra 192GB run Tranception?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Tranception on the Apple M2 Ultra 192GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2592k | 388.6-468.6 t/s | ~4.9-5.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2603k | 777.1-937.1 t/s | ~9.7-11.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2608k | 1387.8-1673.5 t/s | ~17.3-20.9 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
