Yes, I am running the same on a 64G mc. It's good, but slow at 25 tps on average! I want > 100 tps - but I don't have $5k to spare for an m5 ultra or an nvidia setup.
So I still wonder if one could get good enough quality with a faster higher quant or superoptimized Qwen3.8-27b with dflash2
Same boat, Mac mini M4 Pro 64GB. 25 tps is a bit slow for interactive coding. Any tricks that helped (quant, MLX vs llama.cpp, context size, thinking level)?
