QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 101k 10.8-13.1 t/s ~0.3-0.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 178k 21.7-26.2 t/s ~0.5-0.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 212k 38.7-46.7 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 48GB run OmniFusion-7B (InternViT-6B-448px V1-2)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~38.7-46.7 tok/s and fits up to 212k 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 212k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
