Testing on a MBP m4 pro 24gb

~100t/s prefill, ~15t/s, dropping to ~10t/s later with 64k context.

The issue is I have yet to find a useful agentic local llm that I can run on this machine.

Just given a relatively simple task on a swift app, took 25 minutes, brainstorming like crazy but can not decide on what to do. Eventually I killed it. GPT 5.6 sol-medium took 3 minutes to complete the same task for reference.

Gemma 30B with 256K context runs at 20 tok/sec on my M3 Max with 128GB RAM so I think there’s something wrong with your setup. This should run at ~30-40 toks. Maybe your inference engine is not optimised for Mac.

Try a MoE model like Qwen3.6 35B-A3B for better tok/s
