Can the Apple M4 Max 128GB run NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano Omni?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano Omni on the Apple M4 Max 128GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 193k | 5.9-7.1 t/s | ~0.1-0.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 313k | 11.7-14.2 t/s | ~0.2-0.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 366k | 21-25.3 t/s | ~0.4-0.5 (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 NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano Omni?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~21-25.3 tok/s and fits up to 366k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.4-0.5 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 366k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
