Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the Apple M3 Max 128GB run MultiVerse 70B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~6.7-8.1 tok/s and fits up to 224k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.2-0.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 224k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
