FAQ
Can the Apple M1 Pro (16GB) run Devstral 2?
Yes. The Apple M1 Pro (16GB)'s 16.0GB of unified memory is enough to run Devstral 2 at Q4_K_M quantization (15.6GB required).
What's the best quantization to use?
Q4_K_M is the highest-precision quantization that fits in your 16.0GB. It uses about 15.6GB of memory and 17.1GB recommended for comfortable inference.
What if I need more headroom for context length?
KV cache memory grows with context length. The numbers above assume a baseline 2K-4K context. For long-context use (32K+), add another 2-6GB depending on the model architecture.
