Can MacBook Pro M1 Max 64GB run gemma-3-27b-it?

Apple · 64 GB LPDDR5 · 400 GB/s bandwidth · Google · 27.4B · model ctx up to 128K

Fit & speed by quant and context

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 0.5 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
