Can Mac mini M4 Pro 64GB run Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512?

Apple · 64 GB LPDDR5X · 273 GB/s bandwidth · Mistral · 24.0B · model ctx up to 256K

Yes — the Mac mini M4 Pro 64GB (64 GB LPDDR5X) 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 64 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 7.2 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 53.8 GB) also fits, at ≈ 2.0 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	7.2 est.
Q4	8K default	19.0 GB	Yes	7.2 est.
Q4	32K	33.4 GB	Yes	7.2 est.
FP16	4K	51.4 GB	Yes	2.0 est.
FP16	8K default	53.8 GB	Yes	2.0 est.
FP16	32K	68.2 GB	No	5.0 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).
