Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Genie-SCOPe (bio) on the Apple M4 Max 36GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 471k | 45278-54600 t/s | ~829.3-1000 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 471k | 90556.1-109200 t/s | ~1658.5-2000 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 471k | 161707.3-195000 t/s | ~2961.7-3571.4 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
