Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
HuatuoGPT on the Apple M4 Max 128GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 535k | 14.3-17.2 t/s | ~0.3-0.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 615k | 28.6-34.4 t/s | ~0.5-0.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 650k | 51-61.5 t/s | ~0.9-1.1 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
