Apple · 96 GB LPDDR5 · 819 GB/s bandwidth · Google · 25.2B (active 3.8B) · MoE · model ctx up to 256K

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).
