EXAONE Deep 32B on the Apple M4 Max 48GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | โ | โ | โ |
| Q8 | yes | 37k | 11.6-14 t/s | ~0.2-0.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 91k | 20.7-25 t/s | ~0.4-0.5 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
