// RUN — FITS

Can the Apple M3 Max 36GB run (ensemble): AWD-LSTM-DOC (fin) × 5 (WT2)?

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

(ensemble): AWD-LSTM-DOC (fin) × 5 (WT2) on the Apple M3 Max 36GB

FP16 yes 466k 551.4-664.9 t/s ~18.4-22.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 469k 1102.7-1329.7 t/s ~36.8-44.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 470k 1969.1-2374.5 t/s ~65.6-79.2 (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 M3 Max 36GB run (ensemble): AWD-LSTM-DOC (fin) × 5 (WT2)?

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1969.1-2374.5 tok/s and fits up to 470k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~65.6-79.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?

At Q4, up to about 470k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
