Which is faster on Apple M2 Pro: llama3.1-70b or mistral-24b?
This Apple M2 Pro comparison shows VRAM fit and quality data for llama3.1-70b vs mistral-24b, but one or both decode-speed benchmarks are still missing.
Do both models fit on Apple M2 Pro?
llama3.1-70b: ✗ No. mistral-24b: ✗ No. The fit labels use Q4_K_M VRAM estimates and the benchmark data available for this GPU.
How much VRAM do these models need?
llama3.1-70b needs about 42GB in Q4_K_M; mistral-24b needs about 14.4GB in Q4_K_M.
Why can speed differ by GPU?
Local LLM speed depends on GPU memory bandwidth, backend, quantization, context length, and whether the model fits entirely in VRAM or unified memory.
How can I correct this comparison?
