Will it run local LLMs?
No signed M1 run yet, but its 16GB of unified memory tells you what fits. At 4-bit it comfortably runs models up to about 8B parameters with room for context, and up to roughly 13B with tighter quantization. Check a specific model with the VRAM-fit tool.
For measured decode speed on the nearest hardware we have benchmarked: M3 Ultra · M4 Max · M3 Pro. Run the suite on your M1 to fill this page in.
