FAQ
Can the Apple M4 Pro (48GB) run Mistral Medium 3.5?
Yes. The Apple M4 Pro (48GB)'s 48.0GB of unified memory is enough to run Mistral Medium 3.5 at Q4_K_M quantization (43.4GB required).
What's the best quantization to use?
Q4_K_M is the highest-precision quantization that fits in your 48.0GB. It uses about 43.4GB of memory and 44.9GB 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.
