Can the Apple M4 Max 48GB run EXAONE Deep 32B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~20.7-25 tok/s and fits up to 91k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.4-0.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 91k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
