Workload Recommendations
Guidance for optimal precision and operational ceilings on Apple M2 Max (96GB).
Inference Sweet Spot
Suitable for 70B parameter models at Q4/Q8 with extended 32k context windows, or high-throughput batching of smaller dense architectures.
Bandwidth & Speed Profile
With 400 GB/s aggregate bandwidth, batch size 1 inference operates in a memory-bandwidth bound regime. Generates approximately 89 tok/s on an 8B Q4 model and 11 tok/s on a 70B Q4 model.
Unified Memory Budget
Modeled with a 75% usable allocation budget to preserve system RAM for macOS and display compositor processes.
