Can an M3 Pro run Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct?
llm-speed has not measured Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct on M3 Pro itself yet, so there is no llm-speed verdict. 2 community-submitted runs exist (fastest 30.5 tok/s at 4-bit on mlx); community-submitted, not measured by llm-speed, so they give no verdict.
2 signed runs on llm-speed. Single-request decode speed in tokens per second; the short-chat workload unless noted. All 2 runs are community-submitted (signed on the submitter's own machine, not measured by llm-speed, and not used for llm-speed verdicts). Verdicts and headline numbers use only llm-speed's own runs and fit tests.
Measured tok/s by quant and runtime
| Quant | Runtime | Build | Decode tok/s (best run) | Workload | Runs | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4-bit | mlx | 0.31.3 | 30.5 | chat-short | 2 | Community-submitted |
llm-speed has not measured this pair itself, so there is no llm-speed verdict or fastest quant. The rows above are community-submitted, not measured by llm-speed.
VRAM: not recorded for these runs. The VRAM calculator gives an estimate (predicted, not measured).
