Can MacBook Pro M3 Max 128GB run Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8?

Apple · 128 GB LPDDR5 · 400 GB/s bandwidth · Qwen · 36.0B (active 36.0B) · MoE · model ctx up to NoneK

Fit & speed by quant and context

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).
