MatterSim (M3GNet - MatterSim-v1.0.0-5M) on the Apple M3 Max 128GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1735k | 30222.2-36444.4 t/s | ~755.6-911.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1735k | 60444.4-72888.9 t/s | ~1511.1-1822.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1735k | 107936.5-130158.7 t/s | ~2698.4-3254 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
