Can the Apple M4 Max 128GB run DEQ-Transformer (Post-LN) + Jacobian Regularisation?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
DEQ-Transformer (Post-LN) + Jacobian Regularisation on the Apple M4 Max 128GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1732k | 1894.3-2284.3 t/s | ~34.7-41.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1733k | 3788.6-4568.6 t/s | ~69.4-83.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1734k | 6765.3-8158.2 t/s | ~123.9-149.4 (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 M4 Max 128GB run DEQ-Transformer (Post-LN) + Jacobian Regularisation?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~6765.3-8158.2 tok/s and fits up to 1734k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~123.9-149.4 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1734k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
