Can the Apple M4 Max 36GB run TiTok-L?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
TiTok-L on the Apple M4 Max 36GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 462k | 604.7-729.2 t/s | ~11.1-13.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 467k | 1209.4-1458.4 t/s | ~22.1-26.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 469k | 2159.6-2604.2 t/s | ~39.6-47.7 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
