Can MacBook Pro M3 Max 128GB run Hy3?

Apple · 128 GB LPDDR5 · 400 GB/s bandwidth · Tencent · 295.0B (active 21.0B) · MoE · model ctx up to 256K

No — Hy3 at Q4 needs ≈ 165.35 GB even at 4K context, beyond the MacBook Pro M3 Max 128GB's 128 GB LPDDR5. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 20.2 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 595.2 GB — does not fit on this card. 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	165.35 GB	No	20.8 est.
Q4	8K default	167.45 GB	No	20.2 est.
Q4	32K	180.05 GB	No	17.5 est.
FP16	4K	593.1 GB	No	—
FP16	8K default	595.2 GB	No	—
FP16	32K	607.8 GB	No	—

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).
