It's hard to believe 16GB unified memory will give you 5 tok/sec unless you are ignoring the thermal warnings. I am running Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on my 16GB M3 and get 7-8 tokens/sec with all the optimizations while keeping the peak memory and thermal warnings at check. https://github.com/deepanwadhwa/samosa-chat

#33> Hugging Face is the bottleneck, not your link. README could clearly make use of a cleanup, seems to be more like a session log dump now than a good introduction to the project for a new user. Maybe try something like "Remove anything from the README.md that wouldn't be helpful to someone who sees this project with zero context, for the first time. Rewrite all paragraphs and sections to be concise and remove all flu…
thanks! I'll do!

I hate this AI style writing because since it doesn’t really understand flow, it’s being inserted in irrelevant places and it is extremely irritating to read.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not Invented Here.
Ah! Yeah, I didn't invent anything (yet!). The goal is to see how far I can take it in terms of speed without consuming that much RAM.
I'm only joking anyway — it's more a comment on the whole AI-accelerated trend of everyone having their own version of a thing.
I do agree that, ultimately, combining your efforts with others working in this whole area is probably really worth it, but I can see how there's an ease of pushing forward on your own these days.
I do not have fast internet so I am not sure when I'll really be able to download the weights but I do have an M1 Max to try this on, so I will at some point!

#36"Disk is the gate that bites first" AI;DR
The never ending gate bites.
How I have come to detest certain phrases.

#38I'm hoping to see progress in this space. Folks talking about how 32G is not enough for local use, but then there's been work like this to empower it. My hope is that the new 32G M6 will be "useful" locally, possibly because of work like this.
yes! I'm bullish on this. there is a lot of work to do. I've been experimenting with pruning, distillation, and retraining too. I'm sure your 32gb m6 will run a badass local model!
