- Can I run Qwen27b Abliterated Fable MTP on a Mac?
Qwen27b Abliterated Fable MTP requires at least 12.6 GB at Q2_K, which exceeds the unified memory of most consumer Macs. You would need a Mac Studio or Mac Pro with a high-memory configuration.
- Can I run Qwen27b Abliterated Fable MTP locally?
Yes — Qwen27b Abliterated Fable MTP can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q4_K_M quantization it needs 17.8 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Qwen27b Abliterated Fable MTP?
At Q4_K_M, Qwen27b Abliterated Fable MTP can reach ~247 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI350X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~37 tok/s. Speed depends mainly on GPU memory bandwidth. Real-world results typically within ±20%.
tok/s = (bandwidth GB/s ÷ model GB) × efficiency
Example: NVIDIA B200 → 8000 ÷ 17.8 × 0.65 = ~292 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q4_K_M (17.8 GB)
~292 tok/s~37 tok/s~292 tok/s~247 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
