Workload Recommendations
Guidance for optimal precision and operational ceilings on Apple M5 (24GB).
Inference Sweet Spot
Optimal for 8B models across extended context (32k+). 14B models fit comfortably at Q4 precision with standard context.
Bandwidth & Speed Profile
With 153 GB/s aggregate bandwidth, batch size 1 inference operates in a memory-bandwidth bound regime. Generates approximately 34 tok/s on an 8B Q4 model and 4 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.
