// RUN — FITS

Can the Apple M3 Max 64GB run AWD-LSTM-DRILL + dynamic evaluation† (PTB)?

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

AWD-LSTM-DRILL + dynamic evaluation† (PTB) on the Apple M3 Max 64GB

FP16 yes 855k 5666.7-6833.3 t/s ~141.7-170.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 856k 11333.3-13666.7 t/s ~283.3-341.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 856k 20238.1-24404.8 t/s ~506-610.1 (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 64GB run AWD-LSTM-DRILL + dynamic evaluation† (PTB)?

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~20238.1-24404.8 tok/s and fits up to 856k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~506-610.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?

At Q4, up to about 856k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
