Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
TiTok-L on the Apple M3 Max 48GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 627k | 443-534.2 t/s | ~11.1-13.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 632k | 886-1068.4 t/s | ~22.1-26.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 634k | 1582.1-1907.9 t/s | ~39.6-47.7 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
