Can Mac Studio M2 Ultra 192GB run Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512?

Apple · 192 GB LPDDR5 · 800 GB/s bandwidth · Mistral · 24.0B · model ctx up to 256K

Yes — the Mac Studio M2 Ultra 192GB (192 GB LPDDR5) can run Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 19.0 GB VRAM (weights 13.2 GB + KV cache 4.8 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 192 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 21.2 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 53.8 GB) also fits, at ≈ 5.8 tok/s (estimated). Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	16.6 GB	Yes	21.2 est.
Q4	8K default	19.0 GB	Yes	21.2 est.
Q4	32K	33.4 GB	Yes	21.2 est.
FP16	4K	51.4 GB	Yes	5.8 est.
FP16	8K default	53.8 GB	Yes	5.8 est.
FP16	32K	68.2 GB	Yes	5.8 est.

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 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).
