Q4 yes 646k 47.4-57.1 t/s ~0.9-1 (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 M4 Max 128GB run Orion Star (猎户星空大模型)?

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~47.4-57.1 tok/s and fits up to 646k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.9-1 tok/s.

How much context fits?

At Q4, up to about 646k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
