Can the Apple M4 Max 36GB run (ensemble): AWD-LSTM-DOC (fin) × 5 (WT2)?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
(ensemble): AWD-LSTM-DOC (fin) × 5 (WT2) on the Apple M4 Max 36GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 466k | 1003.5-1210.1 t/s | ~18.4-22.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 469k | 2006.9-2420.1 t/s | ~36.8-44.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 470k | 3583.8-4321.6 t/s | ~65.6-79.2 (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 36GB run (ensemble): AWD-LSTM-DOC (fin) × 5 (WT2)?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~3583.8-4321.6 tok/s and fits up to 470k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~65.6-79.2 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 470k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
