running a model on a reasonably specced laptop

my 128GB M5 Max MacBook Pro

TIL a $7000 laptop is "reasonably specced"

You can run it on smaller hardware too, people managed to get 3.6 to run with 16 gb ram with stuff like quants and MTP. But the fact that you can run a model that performs as well as a frontier model from half a year ago on any laptop is frankly mind blowing.

I've got it running on 12gb at lowest quant at a decent speed, like 30toks

How's the output quality on the lowest quant?
