Can the MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max run humanizer?
Yes. humanizer fits the MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max's 48 GB at Q4_K_M (about 8.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 45 tok/s. There's room for up to FP16 if you want higher quality.

| Quant | Weights | Needs | Fit | Est. speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 7 GB | 8.8 GB | Fits easily | ~45 tok/s |
| Q5_K_M | 9 GB | 10.8 GB | Fits easily | ~35 tok/s |
| Q8_0 | 13 GB | 14.8 GB | Fits easily | ~24 tok/s |
| FP16 | 24 GB | 25.8 GB | Fits easily | ~13 tok/s |
Estimates. Needs = weights + 1.8 GB for KV cache and runtime at modest context. Speed is single-stream decode scaled from the MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max's 546 GB/s bandwidth (Estimated from memory bandwidth (llama.cpp decode)). Long contexts need more memory and run slower.

Frequently asked
Quick answers
Can the Apple MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max run humanizer?
Yes. humanizer fits the MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max's 48 GB at Q4_K_M (about 8.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 45 tok/s. There's room for up to FP16 if you want higher quality.
How much VRAM does humanizer need?
About 7 GB of weights at Q4_K_M, 13 GB at Q8_0 and 24 GB at FP16. Add roughly 1.8 GB for the KV cache and runtime at modest context lengths.
How fast is humanizer on the MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max?
Roughly 45 tokens per second at Q4_K_M (single user, llama.cpp-style decode). This is an estimate from the MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max's 546 GB/s memory bandwidth.
