// RUN โ€” FITS

Can the Apple M3 Max 36GB run OmniFusion-7B (InternViT-6B-448px V1-2)?

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

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 36k 8.1-9.8 t/s ~0.3-0.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 112k 16.3-19.6 t/s ~0.5-0.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 146k 29-35 t/s ~1-1.2 (slow)

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

Can the Apple M3 Max 36GB run OmniFusion-7B (InternViT-6B-448px V1-2)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~29-35 tok/s and fits up to 146k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~1-1.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 146k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
