Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
DDPM-IP (CelebA) on the Apple M3 Max 36GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 462k | 345.8-416.9 t/s | ~11.5-13.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 467k | 691.5-833.9 t/s | ~23.1-27.8 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 469k | 1234.9-1489.1 t/s | ~41.2-49.6 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
