Can Mac mini M4 Pro 64GB run NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-BF16?

Apple · 64 GB LPDDR5X · 273 GB/s bandwidth · NVIDIA · 120.0B (active 12.0B) · MoE · model ctx up to 256K

No — NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-BF16 at Q4 needs ≈ 68.2 GB even at 4K context, beyond the Mac mini M4 Pro 64GB's 64 GB LPDDR5X. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 35.2 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 243.4 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	68.2 GB	No	36.4 est.
Q4	8K default	69.4 GB	No	35.2 est.
Q4	32K	76.6 GB	No	28.9 est.
FP16	4K	242.2 GB	No	0.8 est.
FP16	8K default	243.4 GB	No	0.8 est.
FP16	32K	250.6 GB	No	0.7 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).
