Routing Transformer (WT-103) on the Apple M4 Max 36GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 469k | 2335.1-2815.8 t/s | ~42.8-51.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 470k | 4670.2-5631.7 t/s | ~85.5-103.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 471k | 8339.6-10056.6 t/s | ~152.7-184.2 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
