UnverifiedOn a Mac, models typically run in quantized formats (such as 4-bit GGUF), compressing size and reducing memory usage by lowering numerical precision, at the cost of a slight performance loss.80% similarVerifiedA Mac Studio M4 Ultra equipped with 192 GB of unified memory can theoretically run complete 70B or even larger parameter models.79% similarVerified4-bit quantization can reduce model size by approximately 75%.77% similarUnverifiedFor models requiring more than 200GB of memory, only a single 512GB Mac Studio is worth considering; most models are not yet close to this requirement.76% similar
