FAQ
Can the Apple M5 Pro (24GB) run Nemotron 3 Nano Omni (free)?
Yes. The Apple M5 Pro (24GB)'s 24.0GB of unified memory is enough to run Nemotron 3 Nano Omni (free) at Q4_K_M quantization (21.0GB required).
What's the best quantization to use?
Q4_K_M is the highest-precision quantization that fits in your 24.0GB. It uses about 21.0GB of memory and 22.5GB 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.
